Ever in the past Justice League hit theaters (and underperformed, both methodically and commercially), there's been a lot of chatter approximately Ben Affleck's vanguard as Batman in the DC extended Universe. though both Affleck and DC/Warner Bros haven't officially commented on the thing recently, numerous reports have come out motto that Affleck is either hanging occurring the cape and cowl after Matt Reeves' Batman movie or is never returning to the role.
Once you along with throw in the additional movies that the actor in the works, it completely seems considering there's an expiration date on Batfleck. However, there is a exaggeration for the DCEU to save Ben Affleck not far off from as Bruce Wayne without having him put on the Batsuit again: have him mentor his longtime assistant Dick Grayson, who becomes the additional Batman.
The majority of you reading this already know approximately how Dick Grayson crosses paths considering Bruce Wayne and becomes Robin, suitably I won't bother going greater than that DC Comics history. What is worth motto is that we know for a fact that Dick exists in the DCEU. Sure, Zack Snyder envisioned the Robin deed from that memorial in Batman v Superman: dawn of Justice belonging to Dick, but considering a Nightwing movie in development, we can tolerably endure that Dick is yet sentient in this continuity, and that it was Jason Todd killed by The Joker, just considering in the comics.
That inborn said, there's been absolutely no insinuation of Dick Grayson in any of the DCEU movies yet. Even if we didn't know Nightwing was inborn worked on, the fact that Bruce Wayne was deed crime solo for who knows how long in the past the endeavors of Batman v Superman: dawn of Justice means that he and Dick went their remove ways at some point. Whether this was because of a nasty falling-out or Dick just approved it was period to strike out on his own, we can deduct that he's built a additional spirit for himself elsewhere (cough Bludhaven cough) and is beating the pulp out of criminals either yet as Robin or in the Nightwing guise.
Director Chris McKay, who's been attached to helm Nightwing in the past it was first announced, recently said that the movie isn't dead, although we're yet in for a long wait for it. And in the deed of Batman, it's been rumored several period that Matt Reeves' standalone movie will cast a younger actor to decree the Dark Knight, indicating it will decree one of Batman's earlier DCEU adventures. though both of these movies sealed considering they'd be fascinating to watch, why not amalgamation them together in a way? give fans a 'passing of the torch' balance where Bruce asks Dick to become the additional Batman, but Bruce sticks not far off from to create determined Dick is Batman-ing right.
It's not considering there isn't precedence for Dick Grayson becoming Batman. In the '90s, Bruce appointed Dick to fill in as Batman after recovering from having his urge on broken by Bane and desertion Gotham City to reevaluate his life's mission. More than a decade later, Dick put the Batsuit on anew considering Bruce was believed to have died, and during this period he fought crime next door to Damian Wayne (as seen below). Hell, even after Bruce returned, Dick continued serving concurrently as Batman occurring until the additional 52 reboot.
Zack Snyder's casting an older actor as Batman was due to Batman v Superman: dawn of Justice inborn partially influenced by The Dark Knight Returns, but by decree this, it along with clip beside on the amount of period we could spend considering this iteration of the character. Bruce tells Alfred in Batman v Superman that they've been waging deed adjacent to bad guys for 20 years, and in Justice League, he admits to Diana that he "can barely complete it now." Even if Affleck wasn't going to exit the role now, there's deserted suitably much longer he could save going. But by selecting Dick Grayson to succeed him, Affleck's Bruce, should he be upset or just judge he can't be a vigilante anymore, can yet be energetic in this life, albeit in a behind-the-scenes capacity.
Currently we already have a sentient decree Dick Grayson: Brenton Thwaites on Titans. Thwaites' Dick is yet Robin, but he's much more brutal towards criminals. government producer Geoff Johns has confirmed that we will see Titans' Dick eventually become Nightwing, and in the past the Nightwing movie is a long ways away, maybe it's worth taking the DCEU's Dick on a every other nice of journey. He can yet be Nightwing for a tiny bit, but then during this particular story, he can transition to inborn the additional Batman.
Admittedly, having Bruce Wayne mentor a additional Batman sounds a lot considering Batman Beyond. And honestly, if neighboring year's Joker movie is successful, I wouldn't mind a non-DCEU Batman greater than movie inborn put into increase that introduces Terry McGinnis to the sentient decree realm. (Maybe Michael Keaton could reprise Bruce?) But as far as the DCEU goes, Dick is the best candidate for succession, and it's simple tolerable to envision Bruce sticking around, be it just for one balance or longer.
With eight sentient action, standalone Batman movies, as with ease as Batman v Superman: dawn of Justice and Justice League (not to insinuation various busy movies), it's becoming harder to put a lively spin on the Caped Crusader on the big screen. though I'm game to see a additional balance of Bruce Wayne leave his mark on the Batman film legacy, at least having Dick wearing the Batsuit would be all-new territory for the silver screen. Legacy is an important portion of the DC universe, suitably why not bring this into the DCEU? Dick is completely more than official for the job, and in the past his TV counterpart is on the alleyway to becoming Nightwing, this exaggeration listeners acquire variety considering him.
Stay occurring to date on what's in increase considering the DCEU by looking through our DC movies guide. Aquaman is the neighboring franchise installment up, and it dives into theaters on December 21.
