Timothée Chalamet might end up portraying the role of Batman in DCU.
Throughout the years, a lot of stars have portrayed the role of The Dark Knight, aka Batman, in multiple media franchises. However, we have only witnessed the character of Bruce Wayne as the Caped Crusader in live-action roles and not many other versions of Batman have made it to the big screen.

Timothée Chalamet is one of the most established actors in the industry and has been making a lot of headlines after he recently reprised his role as Paul Atreides in the movie, Dune: Part Two. The movie has been a massive commercial success at the box office so far and has also largely received positive reviews from fans and critics.
After the success of movies like Wonka and Dune: Part Two, it seems like Warner Bros Studios are all set to continue making more movies with Timothée Chalamet. As revealed by Variety, Chalamet signed a multi-year deal with Warner Bros Studio earlier this week and will also be enjoying a salary hike when he makes these movies.

The CEOs of Warner Bros Motion Picture Group, Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy also recently released a joint statement and talked about how the Little Women actor has decided to sign a multi-year deal with Warner Bros Studio. They said,
“Over the last few years, we have admired not only Timothée’s commitment to his craft, which is evident in the range and depth of his varied roles, but also his unwavering dedication to give 100% of his time and attention to every project he has made here at Warner Bros. and elsewhere.
His collaboration on the campaigns for ‘Dune’ and ‘Wonka’ is something we all enjoyed immensely, and the results speak for themselves.”
Chalamet’s deal with Warner Bros Studio has also sparked rumors of the actor also becoming a part of James Gunn‘s DCU in the future.

A live-action adaption movie of the popular DC team, Teen Titans is allegedly under development as it was recently revealed by The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. After the announcement, fans quickly started speculating which A-listers the studio might choose for the characters.
Later, it was revealed that Timothée Chalamet had also signed a multi-year deal with Warner Bros Studio. The fans quickly started speculating if Chalamet would be portraying the role of Dick Grayson aka Nightwing in the upcoming Teen Titans movie.
However, Chalamet might be suited more to play the role of Terry McGinnis’s Batman in the Batman Beyond movie (if it is ever made). We have witnessed many portrayals of Bruce Wayne’s Batman over the years, it sure would be great to witness some other version of Batman for a change.

An artist who goes by the username @kibar.art on Instagram recently shared his fan-art version of Timothée Chalamet as Terry McGinnis’s Batman and it looks perfect.
Terry McGinnis is shown as a teenage version of Batman who is being trained by Bruce Wayne himself to become the new guardian angel of Gotham City in the animated series, Batman Beyond.
Although there are no updates about the character becoming a part of the DCU at the moment, it won’t come as a huge surprise if the character catches the eye of DCU Boss, James Gunn in the near future.
