Josh Brolin revealed in a recent interview that he was up for the role of Batman in Zack Snyder's DCEU movies.
The DCEU has had its fair share of ups and downs since the release of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel back in 2013. However, one of the most celebrated aspects of that particular universe has been Ben Affleck’s version of Batman. Affleck was such an amazing Dark Knight who tapped into the tragedy of the character in a uniquely somber way. That being said, like Michael Keaton before him, Affleck was not a popular choice for the role in the eyes of fans.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “That was interesting to me,“ Brolin said and continued on saying, “That was his decision, that wasn’t my decision.” He then joked about liking the odds of being a part of something that could either completely fail or be a major success while referring to George Clooney’s short time in the spandex. Brolin would finish the Batman conversation by saying, “It would have been the older, the more raspy, for lack of a better word. Honestly, that would have been a fun deal.
It is always fun to think about what could have been if one famous actor played an iconic character over the actor we actually got. Like Brolin referred to in the interview, this was a time before the actor was Cable in Deadpool 2 and just before Brolin would debut as the MCU’s big bad Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy. There was a ton of fan art of Brolin as Batman at the time.
