While Marvel and DC play tug of war over actors, this AI-generated image of a Marvel actor as Batman has won the online community&#039;s heart.

Marvel Actor&#8217;s Batman Avatar Sends Internet Into A Meltdown As James Gunn Gears Up for DCU Reboot

Transitioning from Marvel to the DC Universe in November 2022, James Gunn sent
ripples of mixed emotions through both the studio’s communities. His decision to
replace Henry Cavill [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] with a
younger Superman was met with a lot of criticism. But that decision was just the
start of what would become a controversial start to his tenure with DC. 

The Guardians of the Galaxy director has also been criticized for casting past
and present Marvel actors for Superman: Legacy.

Following Gunn’s footsteps of casting Marvel actors, a Twitter user re-imagined
one actor as DCU’s Batman. The art revolution brought about by AI-generated
images has proven quite tricky to navigate. But boy has it given us some gems in
making our imaginations come to life, like this.

The AI-generated images of Fawad Khan as Batman instantly caught netizens’
attention. The Pakistani actor was recently seen in Ms Marvel by MCU, portraying
Kamala’s great-grandfather, Hasan. This re-imagination of Gotham’s protector by
user Saboor Akram sent the Twitter universe into a whirlwind. Considering how
convincing the Pakistani star looked as the Dark Knight, it was no wonder that
the South Asian community instantly fell in love.

The Batman franchise too is expecting to see Gunn versions of the Dark Knight in
The Brave and The Bold soon. A viral tweet that depicts another Marvel actor as
Batman could not come at a more awkward time. Especially since the exodus that
saw Marvel actors David Harbour, Frank Grillo, and Maria Bakalova also move to
DC. But the online community seems to be all for this actor to play the hero
that Gotham deserves.


FANS ARE LOVING FAWAD KHAN AS THE CAPED CRUSADER 

Looking effortlessly perfect for the role, Fawad Khan is an impressive-looking
man. Seeing him in this avatar made fans wonder if this scenario was plausible
in real life. One user even went as far to say “I’d honestly rather watch Fawad
Khan as Batman over Robert Pattinson.“

While one user was rendered speechless, another was quick to say they want to
live in a world where Khan is Batman.

One fan of the actor even had a hilarious concern over Khan’s face getting
hidden under the superhero’s mask!
