Actor Bill Skarsgård Expresses Confidence in Potentially Taking on the Roles of Batman or Joker
Fanatics are fond of speculating, particularly about Batman. Despite Robert Pattinson currently donning the cape for Matt Reeves' postponed crime drama, people are eager to learn who might portray the Dark Knight in the future's Brave & the Bold. If fate had favored Bill Skarsgård, he would have gladly taken on the roles of both Batman and Joker.
During his visit to the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the modern-day Dracula expressed his desire to star as Batman (or, at the very least, Bruce Wayne) in the upcoming DCU, which as of yet, does not exist. The status of Brave, on the other hand, is uncertain after director Andy Muschietti hinted at a delay. Although Skarsgård is as clueless about the project as anyone who isn't Muschietti or James Gunn, he is eager to collaborate with Muschietti once more, having previously worked together on the It series.
Skarsgård also believes that a "really awesome Joker" resides within him, and that portraying the Clown Prince would be "pretty exhilarating." The Joker's future in the DCU is somewhat ambiguous at the moment, given his absence from Creature Commandos and the upcoming Bat-media being 2026's Clayface film. Regardless, if anyone knows how to bring elegance to the role of a murderous clown, it's this actor.
Perhaps Skarsgård could embody both Batman and the Joker? His recent genre work has been intriguing, even when the films themselves were lackluster. Such a task would be challenging, but fascinating, and perhaps this actor possesses the talents necessary to pull off this unusual double role. It's been a while since an actor has played dual roles in a movie, but if Sinners managed it, so can DC.

Fans of movies and technology eagerly anticipate the possibility of Skarsgård's dual role, as it could revolutionize the way we view Batman and Joker on screen.
