While he did not poach it to Warner Bros, he just casually revealed it in an interview. The clip has gone viral with the fans appreciating Dafoe. Notably, when James Gunn announced the new Batman movie, fans already wanted the 67-year-old actor to portray the character.

After announcing Superman Legacy, James Gunn announced a Batman film in his last major announcement. While the new DC boss wants to reboot the DCU, he wants to take certain characters’ stories in a different direction. Gunn wants to portray Batman in a different light in the upcoming film. The Brave and the Bold will be the story of Bruce Wayne training his son, Damian. While the film would see a little younger Batman, fans predicted it should have this villain to add a little thrill. And thus, The Lighthouse star comes in.

Fans wanted Willem Dafoe to play the Joker for a long time now

As Willem Dafoe has portrayed villainous roles before in his career, fans think his portrayal of the DC villain would be perfect.
