Fans love fancasting, and they especially love doing it with Batman. While Robert Pattinsons still donning the cowl for Matt Reeves recently delayed crime saga, folks are waiting to see wholl play the Dark Knight in the also still-upcoming Brave & the Bold. If things went Bill Skarsgrds way, hed more than willing to play either Batman orJoker.During a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the new Nosferatu expressed his interest in playing Batman (or at the very least, Bruce Wayne) for the new DCU, which doesnt have one yet. Braves status is currently in flux after director Andy Muschietti recently implied it got pushed back. While Skarsgrd knows as much about that movie as anyone who isnt Muschietti or James Gunnaka, not veryhes more than open to teaming with the director again after they previously collaborated on theItseries. Similarly, Skarsgrds confident theres a really cool fucking Joker in him, and thinks playing the Clown Prince would be pretty sick. That characters place in the DCU is a little more unclear at the moment, since he hasnt gotten a shoutout in Creature Commandosand the next major piece of Bat-media is 2026sClayfacemovie. But typecasting be damned, if anyone knows how to play a well-dressed murder clown, its this actor. Or maybe he can be Batman and Joker? Skarsgrds done some interesting genre work the past few years, and even when those movies werent entirely good, hes been fairly good in them. Thatd be a challenge, but an interesting one, and maybe hes got what it takes to pull off that weird swing. Its been a minute since one actors played dual roles in a movie, but if Sinnerscan do it, so can DC.[via Forbes] Want more io9 news?
