DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has shared another update on Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and it sounds like a lot of actors want to play the Caped Crusader.

Speaking to IGN, Gunn cleared up some details about the upcoming Batman movie. Back when the DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate was announced, Gunn revealed The Brave and the Bold would focus on Bruce Wayne and his son Damian Wayne, who eventually becomes Robin.

"No, I think you have to wait to see the movie. Some things have changed. Plenty of things are in flux on what his situation is with his parentage and all that stuff, so I wouldn't take any of it – Yeah, I mean, the actor who wants to... Listen, first of all, I can't tell you the amount of big actors that have told me they want to be Batman," Gunn revealed.

Gunn has also clarified when the DCU Batman movie might release – and hopefully, we won't have too much longer to wait. When asked on Threads if a release date as late as 2030 or 2031 was the plan, Gunn simply replied: "No."
