Ever previously Justice League hit theaters (and underperformed, both methodically and commercially), there's been a lot of chatter very nearly Ben Affleck's forward-looking as Batman in the DC outstretched Universe. while both Affleck and DC/Warner Bros haven't officially commented upon the matter recently, numerous reports have come out wise saying that Affleck is either hanging occurring the cape and cowl after Matt Reeves' Batman movie or is never returning to the role.
Once you plus toss in the new movies that the actor in the works, it totally seems like there's an expiration date upon Batfleck. However, there is a pretension for the DCEU to save Ben Affleck vis--vis as Bruce Wayne without having him put upon the Batsuit again: have him mentor his longtime co-conspirator Dick Grayson, who becomes the new Batman.
The majority of you reading this already know very nearly how Dick Grayson crosses paths like Bruce Wayne and becomes Robin, suitably I won't bother going higher than that DC Comics history. What is worth wise saying is that we know for a fact that Dick exists in the DCEU. Sure, Zack Snyder envisioned the Robin clash from that memorial in Batman v Superman: initiation of Justice belonging to Dick, but like a Nightwing movie in development, we can suitably receive that Dick is still alive in this continuity, and that it was Jason Todd killed by The Joker, just like in the comics.
That subconscious said, there's been absolutely no hint of Dick Grayson in any of the DCEU movies yet. Even if we didn't know Nightwing was subconscious worked on, the fact that Bruce Wayne was clash crime solo for who knows how long previously the comings and goings of Batman v Superman: initiation 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 arranged it was mature to strike out upon his own, we can deduce that he's built a new activity for himself elsewhere (cough Bludhaven cough) and is beating the pulp out of criminals either still as Robin or in the Nightwing guise.
Director Chris McKay, who's been attached to helm Nightwing previously it was first announced, recently said that the movie isn't dead, although we're still in for a long wait for it. And in the clash of Batman, it's been rumored several mature that Matt Reeves' standalone movie will cast a younger actor to comport yourself the Dark Knight, indicating it will comport yourself one of Batman's earlier DCEU adventures. while both of these movies hermetic like they'd be engaging to watch, why not blend them together in a way? have enough money fans a 'passing of the torch' tab where Bruce asks Dick to become the new Batman, but Bruce sticks vis--vis to make certain Dick is Batman-ing right.
It's not like there isn't precedence for Dick Grayson becoming Batman. In the '90s, Bruce appointed Dick to occupy in as Batman after recovering from having his back up broken by Bane and neglect Gotham City to reevaluate his life's mission. More than a decade later, Dick put the Batsuit upon another time like Bruce was believed to have died, and during this mature he fought crime alongside Damian Wayne (as seen below). Hell, even after Bruce returned, Dick continued serving concurrently as Batman occurring until the new 52 reboot.
Zack Snyder's casting an older actor as Batman was due to Batman v Superman: initiation of Justice subconscious partially influenced by The Dark Knight Returns, but by comport yourself this, it plus cut all along upon the amount of mature we could spend like this iteration of the character. Bruce tells Alfred in Batman v Superman that they've been waging clash adjoining bad guys for 20 years, and in Justice League, he admits to Diana that he "can barely accomplish 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 regard as being he can't be a vigilante anymore, can still be committed in this life, albeit in a behind-the-scenes capacity.
Currently we already have a alive comport yourself Dick Grayson: Brenton Thwaites upon Titans. Thwaites' Dick is still Robin, but he's much more brutal towards criminals. dispensation producer Geoff Johns has declared that we will look Titans' Dick eventually become Nightwing, and previously the Nightwing movie is a long ways away, maybe it's worth taking the DCEU's Dick upon a every other kind of journey. He can still be Nightwing for a tiny bit, but subsequently during this particular story, he can transition to subconscious the new Batman.
Admittedly, having Bruce Wayne mentor a new Batman sounds a lot like Batman Beyond. And honestly, if bordering year's Joker movie is successful, I wouldn't mind a non-DCEU Batman higher than movie subconscious put into proceed that introduces Terry McGinnis to the alive comport yourself realm. (Maybe Michael Keaton could reprise Bruce?) But as in the distance as the DCEU goes, Dick is the best candidate for succession, and it's simple enough to envision Bruce sticking around, be it just for one tab or longer.
With eight alive action, standalone Batman movies, as without difficulty as Batman v Superman: initiation of Justice and Justice League (not to hint various vivacious movies), it's becoming harder to put a light spin upon the Caped Crusader upon the huge screen. while I'm game to look a new tab of Bruce Wayne depart his mark upon the Batman film legacy, at least having Dick wearing the Batsuit would be all-new territory for the silver screen. Legacy is an important allowance of the DC universe, suitably why not bring this into the DCEU? Dick is totally more than attributed for the job, and previously his TV counterpart is upon the passageway to becoming Nightwing, this pretension viewers acquire variety like him.
Stay occurring to date upon what's in proceed like the DCEU by looking through our DC movies guide. Aquaman is the bordering franchise installment up, and it dives into theaters upon December 21.
