:0:0

Summary

Winston Duke, known for playing M'Baku in Black Panther, reveals he wants to play Batman.
Duke explains that he would like to challenge the way characters like Batman "are supposed to look, sound, and perform."
Winston Duke could be a strong contested for the role of the DCU's Batman due to his previous action movie roles and his voice role as the Dark Knight in the podcast Batman Unburied.

A Black Panther actor expresses his interest in playing the DCU's Batman after his MCU roles prepared him for it. James Gunn's plans for the DCU's first chapter "Gods and Monsters" include Andy Muschietti's Batman movie The Brave and the Bold, which will introduce a brand-new live-action Batman within the DCU. Many stars have already been the subjects of fan-casts, though the final decision will likely be made much closer to The Brave and the Bold's release date around 2027.
Speaking to SlashFilm, Black Panther star Winston Duke puts his name forward for Batman's DCU casting. While promoting The Fall Guy, Duke states that he would like to campaign for the role of the Dark Knight. Read the actor's comments below:

"Listen, man, can you start that [campaign]? [Laughs] I would say I challenge you to get on all these socials and push for me. Get your community. I would love to. I would love to do that as Batman. I'd love any opportunity to explore new characters, to change narratives around some of these entrenched ideas of how these characters are supposed to look, sound, and perform. I'm all for it."

Why Winston Duke Would Be A Great DC Universe Batman The Actor Already Plays Batman In The Batman Unburied Podcast Series Close With The Brave and the Bold's main casting still undetermined, several actors have commented on the possibility of playing Batman, including Spider-Man: Far From Home star Jake Gyllenhaal, The Boys' actor Jensen Ackles, and Titans alum Alan Ritchson. Now, Black Panther's Winston Duke joins the list of self-appointed candidates. Like Jensen Ackles (who has voiced the Caped Crusader in five animated DC projects), Winston Duke voiced Batman in the 2022 audio drama podcast Batman Unburied.
Penned by The Dark Knight trilogy writer David S. Goyer, Batman Unburied follows Bruce Wayne as he saves Gotham City from a new serial killer called The Harvester. Winston Duke co-stars with Jason Isaacs, who plays Alfred Pennyworth. The podcast also features the late Lance Reddick as Thomas Wayne, and Gina Rodriguez as Barbara Gordon. Batman Unburied is the first in a series of DC audio dramas, which includes The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark and Harley Quinn and The Joker: Sound Mind.
