WHAT?! Major Addition to THE BATVERSE, DCU Preview Announced, NIGHTWING Casting & More! 

Asher Angel as Nightwing is kind of wild. At first it's like woah but then only a few seconds later it's like, wait a minute, this could be a thing.

Mark Strong as Hugo Strange, Victor Fries, or Basil Karlo could be fantastic.

I like how batmans popular enough to get his own cinematic universe. And the fact that dc is going the route where star wars did with their interconnected timelines besides the films. Gaming, animation, and series.

Because Mark Strong is WORKING OUT for a role in this series, I can see it being Hugo Strange since there are a lot of important Batman stories where Hugo Strange works out to become as strong as Batman and even ends up putting on the costume and goes around "playing" Batman after Batman is allegedly dead. But maybe it's actually just Zsasz cause he's always shirtless too so makes sense getting in shape for that.

Getting my boba fix in like I’m a crack addict

Can't wait for Creature Commandos and lore it builds for DCU

Man got here as fast as i could, i'm really pumped to see Mark Strong come back in DC but yeah Creature Commandos and Asher Angel Teasing Nightwing? oh man this is quite a day for DC Content for sure

Honestly, when an actor posts something like Asher did, it usually means they DON'T have the role, but want to get people talking about it/campaigning for it. Otherwise they'd be keeping their mouth completely shut, no way James Gunn would OK something like that if he actually had talks with him.

Love the DC content my friend!

and the superman suit looks fantastic...the future looks bright for DC

Mark strong will be calender man, trust me,I know things💀

Creature commandos is my most anticipated DCU project. I hope it good because it gives me Hellboy/ B.P.R.D vibes.

Mark Strong blew me away in Low Winter Sun and Body of Lies. Great grab DC

I hope DCU version of Batman & Bruce Wayne will be a LOT like Kevin Conroy. Where he is like Sherlock Holmes in TAS & like James Bond in the Arkham Series🦇

Ngl I want someone new for nightwing a unknown

I thought Asher Angel is too short for Nightwing, but I just checked and saw that Nightwing is supposed to be 5’10🤯

Asher moving from Billy to Dick would be quite a jump, but I do see it. He has the build/size for it. If he started training now, I think he could lock that role up.

Sinestro is back!!

I LOVE when Boba uploads! It's a highlight of the day!!!!

Oh fuck, i shoulda waited til you showed the Brandon Sklenar and Asher pix. that looks perfect, let's just do that

Your DC news videos.Is always a welcome sight,Boba.

let james gunn cook🔥

I love how Mark looks strong. In my head, I think he's playing Sionis 👍

Boba, all I want to see is the news about the Batverse and DCU in your videos 😉

Zsasz, Mr Freeze, Black Mask especially after Marks performance in Kickass. Or hear me out......Hush. The possibilities are endless especially given that Mark is a great actor and a comic book fan.

Mark strong as hugo strange would be fantastic casting.

mann is was excited, you had me thinking we (officially) got a nightwing casting 😔

I've wanted Mark strong as mr freeze since the early snyder verse days

I am really excited to watch the video. It always makes my day better.

Mark Strong was At The Bryan Singer Parties 🎉🎉 Don’t Doubt it

Great video excited for Nightwing

Some great speculation on Mark Strong's role! I'm really torn on what it could be. I guess we'll find out fairly soon. I'm shocked at these recent photos of Asher Angel. I do think of him as a young boy, but now he definitely looks like a young man, kind of a heartthrob type, perfect for Nightwing.

I think mark strong might be playing victor zsasz since in mr zsasz's origin story he lost his fortune to the penguin in a card game. but if I'm honest I'd love it if he was playing black mask

Bro a video about theories about the plot of THE PENGUIN would be amazinggg 🙏

Good DC news roundup.

Stagg is the one that created metamorpho so its obvious its for Superman

Great update Boba.

Hugo Hugo Hugo!!

He looks more like Zsasz than Hugo. But making him Hugo would make way for more villains in the franchise 🤔

HERE BEFORE IT BLOWS UP HYPED🔥🔥🔥

Definitely agree with the idea of Mark Strong being Hugo Strange!

Mark Strong would be great as Hugo Strange. I am still hoping that the sequel to The Batman adapts Batman: Prey and Batman: The Imposter.

Gotham is how I found you back in the day!

Asher angel would be perfect as daimien wayne. Give nightwing to someonelse

No need for boba fancast we know he wants skelenar to be batman he isn't even hiding it

Interesting asher angel has been cast in the dcu. I would love to some of the other Shazam actors like grace Carolina Currey in the dcu as well maybe as wonder Woman.

I got here as fast as I could… 😂

im glad you put me on to Batman Unburied it was great id have to recommend it as well

I was thinking Zsasz too on Strong casting

Asher was just a kid a few years ago! I don't feel comfortable with the idea of him as Nightwing, that's so wrong 😭

Simon Stagg is going to be in the James Gunn universe!!!

Boba: Bookmark it in your mind Me: Ok, bookmark created in Boba's mind

Now that I think of it,Hugo would be more suited for the whole court of Owls direction they are taking with Battinsons universe

I think Mark Strong would make an amazing Hugo Strange

Podcast When? 😂

WE NEED YOUNG JUSTICE SEASON 5!!!!!! and announce 3 more seasons!!!! And maybe some animated films.

With 2 out of 4 already in Superman we really need a THE TERRIFICS movie as one of the unannounced projects of chapter 1! 🙏

Strong is too old to play Zsazs. But I totally would love him as Mr. Freeze❤

Mark Strong could play Hush too.. but that Gotham series quote says Victor Zsasz or Freeze.. He's a little older for Zsasz and I think we'd all prefer Freeze.. Francois Choi is pretty big too.. He was on the list and I always assumed Hugo Strange . I don't think Strong is good for Strange but Choi definitely is

As far as Asher Angel as Nightwing I love the idea, He acted his ass off in Shazam and was probably had the best performance but he was Billy Batson. If The Script is Done for Teen Titans and if it is actually happening, Gunn Said Casting would only happen after the Script is finished and Maybe Supergirl has a director and Co-Signed with Gunn on Milly Alcock but it just hasn’t been announced yet

Simon Stagg was in Wonder Woman 1984

Hoping teen titans is actually being developed (I remember DCU leaks mentioning it along side other potential projects) as it would be very special for both the comic and general audience. Asher Angel and Gabriel P Chung are currently the only actors I recall teasing something related to the titans project, although they just may be doing an Alan Richardson kinda thing.

1. Mark Strong As The DCU's Mr. Freeze 2. Timothee Chalamet As Dick Grayson/Nightwing

Maybe he could play as Rupert Thorn. Another well known Mob boss. Professor Hugo Strange could be a fantastic character.

I wanted Asher to have a bigger part in the Shazam films, I think they would have done better if he had. I like Zachary Levi but Asher’s version was just more likable. I think he’d be a great nightwing

DCUabout to be exiting

He could be playing Maroni in flashback scenes to piece together the upcoming story happening in the show

Y'all I feel validated. I forget where I posted it (thinking about it, I think it was on a stream for this channel), but I said a while ago that Asher Angel would make a great Nightwing. If that happened, that would be very cool. He's got the look and the right vibe and I think the right age for if he shows up in a few years. I would be very excited to see his take on it. Big Nightwing fan and I just want the DCU to finally do him justice.

I love Mark Strong as a character in the batverse but I was truly hoping for Dave Bautista for Hugo Strange. But I would gladly take Mark as well

I'm here for Mark strong being zsasz

Dylan O’Brien as Nightwing!!

Hey Boba, I hope you see this because I would like to hear your thoughts. With Amanda Waller’s shenanigans continuing into the DCU from the DCEU, I’ve been thinking about where a watching order should start for this new universe and I think the answer might surprise people. I think the through line of tone (joke heavy but emotionally honest, you know, the Guardians vibes if you will) the feel of a lived in world full of superheroes and the essential narrative beats slide back to a specific film. While they’re saying that this universe starts with Creature Commandos and then Superman, we obviously have to include Peacemaker. If we’re including Peacemaker then we’re including The Suicide Squad. If we’re including The Suicide Squad we have to include Birds of Prey. I think the character arc of Margot’s Harley Quinn is completely uninterrupted from Birds to Suicide, and they easily share a similar tone and the story feels like it takes place on the same world just in different scopes. Suicide Squad (1) is out because it narratively ties to the DCEU in a way Birds doesn’t. Birds starts with a reference to an unseen break up between Joker and Harley and sets up everything we need to know about the world without any specific reference to anything specifically DCEU. Then The Suicide Squad sets up everything you need to know for itself. While I love the Shazam movies a lot and Black Adam much less I actually think Shazam’s DCEU logos keep it out of the DCU and Black Adam fits right in if you disregard the credit scene cameo the way we’re being told to disregard the DCEU Justice League at the end of Peacemaker. I don’t think I’m stretching here and I think starting with Birds of Prey is a clean way to go when having continuity arguments with your nerd friends. I love the channel, man, keep it up. P.S. Do you think Mark’s beefing up because Hugo is gonna become obsessed with The Batman like in Batman: Prey? Maybe this time he takes on the cowl himself and The Batman Part Two is a doppelgänger mystery? I think it would be SUCH an unexpected move for the villain to just be “Batman” and Bruce has to figure out who he is while his allies start to wonder if he’s snapped. Maybe Caped Crusader isn’t the only time we see Bruce in therapy in the near future. Cheers.

Well if he needs training, it's going to be a physical/action role, rather than an intellectual role, under layers of costume.

Marc Strong most likely playing Victor Zaaz, usually portrayed as a lackey for one of the crime families in Gotham.

dylan o brien as night wing

Mark strong as Hugo strange

Took my time getting here because most of the info is speculation and give u all time to marinate on it

Since Gotham was the one pointed to. I think it's Zsasz. Since that was probably the best villain on Gotham (other than maybe Jerome)

You mean Mark Strong who was Chris D'Amico from Kick-Ass will be in the Batverse? Bet.

blue contacts would be nice too but unlikely

Mark Strong is playing Penguins father.

I love Batman Unburied

I'm actually more on board with Asher as Nightwing than with most fancast for Bruce Wayne so far. Personally I'm into Rob Stark's actor for Bruce.

Bro I keep getting here late Cause I’m in Disney lol

Asher Angel as Dick would be awesome!

I'm very protective of my favorite comic book boi

I feel Asher any can play the flash

So he's playing Victor Zsasz?

He would kill freeze and strange role…. Dare I say ledger level

Any news on the Beast Boy: Lone wolf series?

What is it with Amanda Waller and off the books black ops teams

If Mark Strong is Mr. Freeze, then the Batman sequel is going to be fantastic.

I just hope they don't make Mark Strong do what he did in Shazam. He's such an amazing actor and that character was impossible to take seriously and very much not intimidating in anyway. If they many him a villian they need to go way darker and make him a serious baddie in the new dceu

I would love a Big Belly Burger T-shirt.

Hell, what about Black Mask? Was he referenced or appeared in Gotham? I hadn’t watched it yet in hopes of a revival/merger of that universe. I’ve heard nothing but good things (Minus “Jerome”/“J”)

Mark Strong as Mr. Freeze or Victor Zasza he is really cool actor I wouldn’t seeing other villains in The Penguin spin-off especially to see more worldbuilding, Shazam actor wants to be Nightwing I mean I did like the Shazam movie but I also wouldn’t mind seeing them bringing young actors to play these characters especially for young teams with teenage like characters, Creature Commandos hopefully it is solid bc I’ll jus wait for Superman movie to come buy I’ll still check out the Creature Commandos series, I wouldn’t mind if we get cameos in Superman that aren’t the characters that are already cast in the film so um this could get interesting.

Could it be riddler because the trainer says question and answer

mark strong would be perfect for hugo strange! but he was also soo good as sinestro!!!!

I could 100% see Asher Angel as Dick Grayson.

I think it’s Victor Zazz
