Asolo Batman movieset in the continuity of Warner Bros. and DC Films ' on the side title DC Extended Universe has been in the cards sinceBen Affleck contract on the swordplay Bruce WayneinBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice .

Speaking toMetroabout his recent Netflix film , threefold Frontier(in which he co - stars with Affleck ) , Isaac was asked about the Batman picture show rumors . Specifically , it was report in August 2018 that Isaac had met with Warner Bros. about a use in Reeves’The Batman . When need if he ’s the new Batman , Isaac said :
No . I have only read it online like everyone else . I have n’t had any conversations about Batman , unfortunately , but I am trusted it is going to be great . Matt Reeves is such a with child director . Yeah , he can get my act .
Since Isaac reveals he has n’t met with Warner Bros. aboutBatman , it appears those premature report were n’t reliable - at least , not whole . It ’s since been confirmedIsaac will co - star inDune , Denis Villeneuve ’s adaptation of Frank Herbert ’s sci - fi novel . That movie is being produced by Legendary Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. , so it ’s possible the meeting Isaac had last year was forDune , notThe Batman . Nevertheless , Isaac is n’t currently in consideration for the role of Bruce Wayne in Reeves’TheBatman , that much seems certain .
Of course , Isaac does seem to be game to join the superhero smash hit . The actor has some experience with superhero roles , having play En Sabah Nur inX - Men : Apocalypse- though he ’s since called his experience working on the pic " excruciating " due to thecostume and makeup for Apocalypse . Further , Isaac had a small role inSpider - Man : Into the Spider - Versethat paves the way for a bigger part in the sequel . Still , it seems Isaac is also willing to portray a DC movie role and would like to playact Batman .
Whether that go on , and whether Isaac is even considered for the role , stay to be pick up . If Reeves is wait for ayounger champion forThe Batman , Isaac may not be the right convulsion . Though he ’s six years younger than Affleck , that may not be enough for what Reeves has envisioned . That say , since we do n’t know what precisely Reeves and Warner Bros. are looking for , it ’s difficult to reign out Isaac entirely . For now , fan will have to await and see who wind up starring inThe Batman .
