Several actors over the decades have played Batman in live-action theatrical movies, each bringing a different interpretation shaped by how their directors envisioned the character. There has often been a mixed fan reaction to casting announcements before a film’s release, such as the outcry over Ben Affleck in the DCEU alongside Henry Cavill’s Superman, the initial concern toward Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight, or the reaction to Robert Pattinson in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. James Gunn’s DCU is set to introduce yet another actor in the role, someone other than Pattinson or anyone who has portrayed the hero before. This will inevitably lead to some degree of fan backlash. The new Batman will likely be more of a team player and serve as a founding member of the Justice League alongside Wonder Woman, hopefully The Flash, Green Lantern, and others.
