Gotham's David Mazouz Would Love To Play Damian Wayne In The DCEU

A vigilante Bruce Wayne is finally coming to TV's Gotham, but that doesn't mean the DCEU is completely off limits for one star of the hit series.
That star is Bruce Wayne actor David Mazouz. Gotham is finally starting to introduce the more Batman aspects of his character in season 4, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be up for playing a different role in the DCEU. He indicated as much when some fan art made the rounds online, though he wasn't depicted as the Dark Knight.
Instead, he was shown as the newest Robin Damian Wayne, who in the comics also happens to be Bruce's son with Talia Al Ghul. The artist proposed Mazouz as a great pick for a DCEU version of Damian Wayne, and Mazouz seems to be up for the part.
"I mean if DCEU is casting... #davidfordamian RT if you promote," Mazouz said.

The Batman side of things in the DCEU has expanded quite a bit in recent months. The Batman solo film, which currently stars Ben Affleck, is back on track with Matt Reeves now sitting in the director's chair, though the script seems to be getting an overhaul. DC also announced a Nightwing solo film and a Joss Whedon helmed Batgirl film. Both will likely be ways to introduce a bevy of other Gotham residents, including characters like Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and possibly even Damian Wayne.
Damian Wayne is a very polarizing figure in the comics, as fans seem to either love him or hate him. Few, if any, hold a feeling in-between. Damian has always been a bit, bratty would be the kind word, but then again this is a kid who's version of preschool included training from the League of Assassins, so he might deserve some slack.
Introducing him in the Nightwing movie could be a great way to introduce his more likable qualities, as his time alongside Dick Grayson's Batman is easily one of his best storylines.
It would also give Mazouz a chance to show a different side of his personality, as Damian is much more outspoken (and violent) than his current role as Bruce Wayne.
While his future as Robin remains up in the air, fans can catch him on Gotham when it returns on September 21.
