why Jake Gyllenhaal Should Be Batman in the DCU
Gyllenhaal has come close to landing big hero roles twice, with talks for Batman and Spider-Man. While he’s set to play the villain Mysterio in the Spider-Man films, he’s yet to step into a hero’s shoes. Now, with Batman up for grabs again.Gyllenhaal could be the face of The Brave and the Bold as DC’s Dark Knight.
He’s proven his physical prowess in roles like Southpaw and the upcoming Road House, showing he’s got what it takes to look the part of Batman. Plus, he’s more than just muscles; Gyllenhaal’s acting chops make him a solid choice for the role.
At 43, he’s a bit older than Superman actor David Corenswet. But that could fit perfectly with The Brave and the Bold’s storyline. James Gunn revealed the movie will explore Bruce discovering he has a son, Damian Wayne, and feature other members of the Bat-Family. Gyllenhaal could bring the right mix of experience and intensity to lead this new era of DC heroes.
