With the role of Batman<\/span><\/strong> still seemingly up for grabs in the James Gunn-led DCU and multiple actors throwing their names in the hat, there is ample hype surrounding the anticipated announcement, but now, fans believe that Brandon Sklenar<\/span><\/strong> has already been picked for the role of the Caped Crusader.<\/p>\n

There are several things happening all around that hint towards this. Here are a few reasons fans think that Sklenar is the new Batman.<\/p>\n

Why fans are so sure Brandon Sklenar will be DCU\u2019s Batman<\/h2>\n

Here are some reasons fans think Brandon Sklenar has already been picked for the role of Batman.<\/p>\n

James Gunn commended Sklenar\u2019s work recently<\/h3>\n

Gunn recently praised Sklenar\u2019s work in 1923 during his appearance on the official after-show podcast<\/a> for Peacemaker. This may be a direct hint from the DCU boss, or at least fans think it is.<\/p>\n

Sklenar is getting into superhero shape<\/h3>\n

Sklenar has been actively training to achieve a more buffed-up appearance. His Instagram posts indicate that he is training for a new role, and he looks physically much bigger than before. This could also hint towards a possible superhero role.<\/p>\n

Sklenar fits the established age of Batman in the DCU<\/h3>\n

James Gunn had previously made it clear during the casting of David Corenswet as Superman that he would want to keep the characters\u2019 ages comic-accurate. This means that Batman<\/a> could be a bit older than Superman, who is in his early thirties. So, Sklenar, who turned 35 this year, seems to be of the right age. It helps that he looks the part, too.<\/p>\n

The 1923 star wants to play the role<\/h3>\n

Like other actors who have made it clear that they would love to become Batman, Sklenar has also expressed his interest in the role during an appearance at The Movie Podcast<\/a> in February 2025. He even said that it has been his secret dream to play the role.<\/p>\n

He has also not denied rumors of playing the role, which could be another hint in the right direction.<\/p>\n

It could be in the industry already<\/h3>\n

Sklenar\u2019s casting may already be something that the industry insiders know. In a recent comment on his Instagram post, actress Blake Lively said she had heard rumors about him being cast as Batman.<\/p>\n

This is another big hint if it is indeed true.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, fans will not have to wait for very long to find out about the new Batman<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
