Brandon Sklenar’s Shirtless Photo Sparks ‘Batman’ Casting Rumors After ‘It Ends With Us’
Los Angeles, [Date] – Brandon Sklenar, the rising star known for his role in It Ends With Us alongside Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, has sent the internet into a frenzy with his latest shirtless gym photo – and fans are convinced it’s a hint at his potential casting as the next Batman.
The Photo That Started It All
Sklenar, 33, recently shared a steamy mirror selfie on Instagram, showcasing his dramatically sculpted physique. The 1923 actor’s transformation has sparked wild speculation that he could be bulking up for a superhero role, with many pointing to DC’s upcoming The Brave and the Bold as the likely project.
Why Fans Think He’s Batman

From Period Dramas to Potential Caped Crusader
Best known for his work in historical epics (1923) and romance (It Ends With Us), Sklenar would mark an unexpected but exciting choice for Gotham’s Dark Knight. His ability to portray both intensity and vulnerability – showcased in The Offer as Errol Flynn – makes him a compelling contender.
What We Know So Far
While neither Sklenar nor DC Studios have commented, insiders note:
- Screen tests for Batman are reportedly underway
- Gunn wants an actor in his 30s-early 40s (Sklenar is 33)
- The role requires both physicality and emotional depth
Fan Reactions
“Give me Brandon Sklenar’s Batman brooding on a Gotham rooftop or give me death,” tweeted one fan. Others have begun photoshopping him into Batman cowls, with impressive results.
With DC expected to announce their new Batman soon, all eyes are on Sklenar. Whether this is genuine superhero preparation or just an actor’s typical fitness regimen remains to be seen – but the internet has already cast its vote.
