The future of Batman in the DCU is slowly starting to take shape, and James Gunn<\/a> has confirmed that one of the Dark Knight\u2019s most legendary characters is already on his radar. <\/p>\n

While the filmmaker has been careful about what details he shares regarding The Brave and the Bold<\/a>, he recently gave fans a small but exciting update that points to a familiar face stepping into this new chapter.<\/p>\n

Gunn previously revealed that he expects The Brave and the Bold to arrive before the decade is over. He\u2019s been a little more guarded when asked about the story\u2019s direction, even teasing fans about whether Damian Wayne will be part of the film by saying they\u2019ll have to \u201cwait to see.\u201d <\/p>\n

But one character Gunn isn\u2019t hiding interest in is Selina Kyle. When asked directly on Threads<\/a> if Catwoman was part of his plans for the DCU, Gunn responded, \u201cOh for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catwoman has always been one of Batman\u2019s most iconic and complex allies and foes, so it makes sense that she\u2019d be a part of this new story. Fans have already seen Zo\u00eb Kravitz\u2019s grounded take on Selina Kyle in Matt Reeves\u2019 The Batman, but since that universe is continuing separately with Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, Gunn\u2019s DCU will require a fresh Catwoman alongside a brand-new Batman.<\/p>\n

Naturally, that leads to the fan casting conversations and some names that have been mentioned include Ana de Armas, who was reportedly once in the mix for Reeves\u2019 film. Then there\u2019s Eiza Gonz\u00e1le, Adelaide Kane (Reign, Grey\u2019s Anatomy), and Euphoria star Alexa Demie, all of which have the charisma and edge needed to bring Catwoman\u2019s duality to life.<\/p>\n

Selina Kyle has always walked the line between light and shadow, balancing cunning intelligence with seductive charm and that trademark feline grace. De Armas and Gonz\u00e1lez, in particular, already have proven action experience. <\/p>\n

Whoever ends up in the role, the most important factor will be chemistry with the DCU\u2019s Batman. The dynamic between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle has defined some of the best Batman stories ever told, both in comics and on screen.<\/p>\n

For now, Gunn isn\u2019t revealing who his Batman will be, though names like 1923\u2019s Brandon Sklenar have been floated by fans. With The Brave and the Bold still several years away but firmly on DC Studios\u2019 slate, casting announcements will likely start to trickle out in the second half of this decade.<\/p>\n

Until then, it\u2019s exciting to know that Gunn isn\u2019t overlooking Catwoman. If she makes her way into the DCU, it could set the stage for some incredible storytelling and a fresh take on one of Gotham\u2019s most fascinating characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The future of Batman in the DCU is slowly starting to take shape, and James Gunn has confirmed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,75,337],"class_list":["post-194404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
