Alexandra Daddario On WONDER WOMAN Fan Casts; Zack Snyder Shares New Photo Of Ben Affleck's Batman

In our latest DC news roundup, we have Baywatch star Alexandra Daddario's response to the Wonder Woman fan casts, a new photo of Ben Affleck's Batman, and the opening titles to Prime Video's Bat-Fam.

DC Studios has its Superman, but with Batman and Wonder Woman still not cast, the Trinity is incomplete. Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira has been tapped to write Diana Prince's next movie, but as of now, it's too soon to say who will play her.

There are plenty of suggestions from fans to be found, but what of True Detective star Alexandra Daddario? She's long been a name associated with the Amazon, and the actress weighed in on the possibility of playing Wonder Woman while speaking to Screen Rant.

Asked if she's seen the fan art casting her as the DCU's Wonder Woman (and Catwoman), Daddario said, "I haven't, to be honest, I haven't seen any of that [fan art]. I'm flattered to hear that it's happening, but I haven't seen it." 

"But of course, working with James Gunn would be amazing in any capacity," she added, "but I wasn't aware that that was going on."

Unfortunately, at 39, Daddario likely isn't what DC Studios is looking for with its Wonder Woman. However, with characters like Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner skewing older than Superman, it's not outside the realm of possibility. 


After years on Vero (a photo-sharing platform that failed to ever really take off), Zack Snyder recently joined Instagram and has been pulling plenty of never-before-seen DCEU photos from the archives. 

The latest features Ben Affleck's Batman, and is captioned, "In the portrait studio I built for Justice League, I captured this moment with Ben. No question—this man is Batman."

That's a sentiment many fans agree with, though Affleck never really got his due. After Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we got a goofier take on the Dark Knight in Joss Whedon's Justice League and The Flash, and plans for him to take centre stage in a Crisis on Infinite Earths movie were scrapped when DC Studios was formed. Affleck's version of The Batman also fell by the wayside.

As we mentioned above, the DCU has yet to cast its Bruce Wayne for The Brave and the Bold.


Finally, we have the opening title sequence for Bat-Fam. All 10 episodes of the kid-oriented series stream on Prime Video starting November 10.

BAT-FAM follows Batman, Alfred, and young Damian Wayne - now having taken on the mantle of "Little Batman" - as they welcome a few new residents to Wayne Manor. Joining the family dinner table is Alicia Pennyworth, Alfred’s free-spirited grandniece; Claire, a recently reformed Super-Villain; Ra’s al Ghul, Damian’s adoring "Pap Pap" who also happens to be Batman’s longtime nemesis; and Man-Bat, who takes up residence in the Wayne Manor belfry. Oh! And let’s not forget Selina, the beloved family cat. This close-knit family of misfits navigate the fun and frustrations of ordinary life while protecting the streets of Gotham City.

@Lisa89 - not really feeling her as Catwoman either.

Hell no to Talia...

@Lisa89 - "Never gonna happen."

You sure about that? The current Sue Storm is 37...The current Monica Rambeau (Photon) is 38 and Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) is 52. On the DC side Rachel Brosnahan is 35, Jennifer Holland is 37, and Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) is 60. These are all relatively recent hires except in the case of Davis who was originally hired well into her 50's

@Forthas - If casting an actress in her late 30s to play Wonder Woman is at all on the table, you can bet your life savings that it will be Jennifer Holland who gets the role.

Great point!!! I forgot who we were dealing with!!!

The casting department should work overtime and somehow find a 6 foot muscular greek actress, that's relatively unknown. I don't know how they'd pull this off but it would certainly pay off in the long run.

Unknown actress is better than known one in this case...

I haven’t seen much of Alexandra’s work but she’s been fine in the stuff of hers I have watched though I still don’t think she would be a good fit for Diana in the DCU…

I could see her moreso as Zatanna , Huntress or maybe even an older Starfire tbh.

Also my pick for DCU Wonder Woman is Monica Barbaro!!.

Just give us 25-30 year old greek/macedonian/italian woman who's 6ft. Anyone is a better actor than Gal Gadot, so that aspect doesn't even matter honestly lol.

I'll settle for her in a Wonder Woman Halloween costume.

Affleck deserved a solo as Batman, shame we'll more than likely never get it.

@ModHaterSLADE - We deserved it, but did he?

@Baf - Yup!

IAmAHoot - 10/30/2025, 5:44 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - The movie he was planning early on, including directing, sounded like a really awesome idea. But for Affleck's own wellbeing it was right to put it aside.
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 10/30/2025, 5:46 PM
@IAmAHoot - Yeah it did, a Batman vs. Deathstroke project could've been badass.
IAmAHoot
IAmAHoot - 10/30/2025, 6:18 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - Especially with Manganiello's comments from that 2020 interview that popped up again recently. Would have been so darn cool.

“It was a really dark story in which Deathstroke was like a shark or a horror movie villain that was dismantling Bruce’s life from the inside out. It was this systemic thing: He killed everyone close to Bruce and destroyed his life to try and make him suffer because he felt that Bruce was responsible for something that happened to him.”
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 10/30/2025, 6:56 PM
@IAmAHoot - That would've been perfect because it shows Deathstroke is not only a physical threat but is a genius when it comes to strategy, which is great for a rivalry with a Detective like Batman.

Oh Brother! Snyder was concerned with building a portrait studio instead of being concerned with how to tell a good story. Supercuck would have been crazy.

And Daddario is not a good fit for WW at all.

I'd rather have more Henry MoS than the sniveling, weak, whiney, goofball Superman we got from Gunn.

@JobinJ - Preach!

@JobinJ - this times a bazillion. How the hell does Superman get kicked in the balls? DC comics are sitting there thinking, “what hell is this?”
JobinJ
JobinJ - 10/30/2025, 7:06 PM
@MR - for real. He even had trouble holding that giant monster up. He should be strong enough to throw that thing into space.

The other thing was when the engineer was shooting her a little things, all down his mouth and lungs. It was as if he couldn’t breathe.

Superman goes into space for hours at a time. He doesn’t need air.
MR
MR - 10/30/2025, 7:10 PM
@JobinJ - I don’t care what anyone says but James Gunn doesn’t understand the superhero movie genre because he punches down on his characters. Someone please keep him away from Batman.

Best live action Batman by a mile

Snyder bored at home. Daddario too old now, still fine as [frick] though.

Alexandra Is gorgeous.

Snyder needs to stop. Shit is lame now.

Zack Snyder is smoking crack...there is only ONE Batman and there is only ever going to be ONE Batman...

@Forthas - how do you post gifs?

Forthas
Forthas - 10/30/2025, 4:58 PM
@grif - You just post the link (always ends in gif or gifv) and the picture will come up. So for example for he first picture I posted I posted this link...

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/83/b4/8b/83b48b3c943e6cce7b475aa3c70dd8b3. gif

The reason it does not turn into a gif is because I put a space between the period and the letters "gif" but you can try it. just remove the space.
Forthas
Forthas - 10/30/2025, 5:02 PM
@grif - If you don't know what the link is to the gif you want to use do a right click on the gif itself and the option to "open" in another window should appear. When you do that (open the gif) the link should appear in the search bar above?

@Forthas - And I loved Anne Hathaway's Catwoman.
Forthas
Forthas - 10/30/2025, 5:58 PM
@PapaBear562 - You are now my best friend...she killed it in that role! The scene where the police raid the restaurant is some of the best acting in any comic book film. She is vastly under appreciated in that role.
