Is Drake Bell Teasing A Robin Role In The DCEU?

Many in Hollywood would love to be a part of DC’s Cinematic Universe, even those who have previously taken on Marvel icons like Drake Bell.

Bell provides the voice of Spider-Man in Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, but a recent tweet suggests he wants to play the DCEU’s Robin on the big screen. Bell tweeted out “the Boy Wonder?” followed by an image of the Robin symbol.

He has since deleted the tweet, but someone was able to grab an image of it before it was removed. So, was this something that got out a bit prematurely, or is this just Bell putting interest out there for the part?

Either way, providing Robin’s rocky history in the DCEU thus far (the previous one was killed at the hands of the Joker and Harley Quinn in the movies), it would be interesting to see how Batman takes on a new partner, and if that will be Tim Drake or Damian Wayne.

You can view the tweet above.

Up next is Justice League, and you can view the synopsis for the film below.

In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder, from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill(Superman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Ezra Miller (The Flash), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg), Ciarán Hinds (Steppenwolf), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth), J.K. Simmons (Commissioner Gordon), Amber Heard (Mera), Kiersey Clemons (Iris West) and Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor).

Wonder Woman is in theaters now, followed by Justice League on November 17, 2017; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020.
