17 Batman Villains Imagined With Perfect Casting Choices In DC Universe Art

Summary

• Horrific Heroics’ fan art casts major actors as Batman enemies for The Brave and The Bold movie.
• DC Universe Chapter 1 will feature multiple movies and TV shows, starting with a Superman film.
• An Arkham Asylum TV show may shine a light on Batman’s foes before appearing in The Brave and The Bold movie.

DC Universe fan art casts major actors as various Batman enemies ahead of The Brave and The Bold movie. DC Studios is busy developing the DC Universe’s Chapter 1, with multiple movies and TV shows currently in the works. While James Gunn’s Superman movie will be the first film to arrive in the DC Universe, it is only the beginning, as other Justice League members will later join the franchise. Since The Brave and The Bold movie is also being developed, the world is waiting to see who will be cast as Batman – as well as his iconic villains from the comics.

While it remains to be seen who will be the villain of the new Batman movie, let alone what actor may actually be tapped for the role, Horrific Heroics recently shared multiple artworks of actors they would cast as some of Batman’s biggest enemies. Check out all of their fan casting ideas below, which also includes some popular actors who have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The DC Universe Already Has The Perfect Project To Include Many Of Batman’s Villains

Time will tell who will be the main threat in The Brave and The Bold, but there is another DC Universe project that could be the ideal platform to highlight some of Bruce Wayne’s enemies. The Batman director Matt Reeves is currently developing an Arkham Asylum TV show. It will officially be set in the DC Universe, as Gunn confirmed in late 2023. While exact plot details for Arkham Asylum have yet to be revealed, the Max drama could give many Batman villains a proper spotlight.

Depending on how many episodes the Arkham Asylum spinoff will consist of, each installment could be centered on a different Batman foe, establishing how they became who they are in the DC Universe. Given how Batman will already be operating in this universe in The Brave and The Bold, it is fair to assume that most of his iconic rogues will already be their comic book counterparts at that point. Arkham Asylum could also be the perfect series to introduce some of the minor Batman villains who have yet to be depicted in the movies.

With the rich gallery of characters in the mythology, there are a lot of villains for Arkham Asylum to feature before they make their way into the movie. This is also the type of interconnectivity that would work for the DC Universe, as Gunn and Peter Safran are striving to tell a more cohesive story with the franchise. Hopefully, there will be more news about both The Brave and The Bold and Arkham Asylum over the coming months as DC Studios get ready to re-imagine the Caped Crusader in the world of live-action.
