Alongside Ben Affleck as the title character, The Batman will also feature Jeremy Irons as loyal butler and confidante Alfred, reprising his role from Batman v Superman and Justice League.

Besides confirming his appearance in the film, Irons also mentioned that the script is "smaller" and "more linear", which should alleviate any concerns that The Batman will mimic Batman v Superman's overstuffed nature.

The pair will also likely be joined by J.K. Simmons as everybody's favourite law enforcer, Commissioner James Gordon. While Simmons hasn't been officially confirmed as of yet, he's expressed excitement at the prospect of working with Affleck in future, and, come on... of course Gordon will be in The Batman movie.

The actor's been putting himself through a gruelling training regime in order to stack up against his incredibly buff, heroic co-stars too, and the results definitely speak for themselves.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
