We know that Matt Reeves doesn’t want Robert Pattinson to be the DCU’s Batman, so everyone is wondering when DC Studios is going to reveal their new Dark Knight that will exist alongside David Corenswet’s Superman.
With no one cast for Batman: Brave and the Bold, Creature Commandos has surprisingly given fans a tease of what Batman could look like in the universe—and there’s still some Batfleck influence in there. Check this out:

Though we only got a silhouette of him, this does seem to confirm that the DCU’s version of Batman will also be stocky, as compared to Battinson who is kind of lean and decked out with combat gear.
As far as fans know, development has been going slowly for The Brave and the Bold. We know that IT and Flash director Andy Muschietti will be at the helm, but we don’t have news of a star who will take on the mantle of the DCU’s main Batman.
When it comes to the story, this does look like it’s going to be another middle-aged Batman. It’s said that this time around, Batman will have to face his son Damien Wayne and teach him how to be his new Robin. With that in mind, it’s possible that the movie will also introduce the rest of the Bat-family including former Robins like Dick Grayson and Jason Todd; as well as Batgirl/Oracle Barbara Gordon.
I’ll admit, the fans do feel like they’re getting antsy with the pace DC Studios is going, but seeing as how Marvel is kind of in a hole themselves, maybe Gunn’s direction will be better for the franchise in the long run.
Creature Commandos is now streaming on Max. Batman: The Brave and the Bold is yet to get a release date, but is expected to come out in a few years.
