Why David Mazouz should play Time Drake in Batman: Brave and the Bold

Don’t lie, this makes total sense. David Mazouz is a name that’s become synonymous with the Batman franchise in recent years. He played a young Bruce Wayne in the hit TV series Gotham, which chronicled the early years of the Dark Knight. But what if he were to return to the DC Universe as another iconic character: Tim Drake, the third Robin?

Fans of the Batman comics will know that Tim Drake is an important figure in the Caped Crusader’s world. He was originally introduced in the late 1980s as a fan of Batman who figured out his secret identity and became the Dark Knight’s ally. He later took on the role of Robin after the second Robin, Jason Todd, was killed off. Tim’s intelligence and computer skills made him a valuable asset to the Batman Family, and he eventually became the leader of the Teen Titans.

David Mazouz’s performance as a young Bruce Wayne in Gotham was widely praised, and for good reason. He brought a maturity and depth to the character that belied his young age, and he proved he was more than capable of holding his own against the show’s more seasoned actors. He also had great chemistry with his on-screen mentor, Alfred Pennyworth, played by Sean Pertwee.

Now, imagine that same level of acting talent applied to the role of Tim Drake. Mazouz is no longer a child actor, and he has the experience and skill to play a character who is more complex and nuanced than the young Bruce Wayne he portrayed in Gotham. He could bring depth to the role of Tim that has never been seen before, making the character even more compelling and interesting to audiences.

Not only that, but the fact that Mazouz has already been a part of the Batman universe could add an extra layer of depth to his portrayal of Tim. The character of Bruce Wayne is obviously a huge influence on Tim’s life, so having an actor who has already played a young Bruce could make for an interesting connection between the two characters.

There’s no denying that Tim Drake is a beloved character in the Batman mythos, and fans are eager to see him brought to life in the DCU. And who better to do it than David Mazouz, an actor who has already proven his worth in the Batman universe? He has the acting chops and the experience to make Tim Drake a character we’ll all fall in love with, and he could bring a new level of depth to the role that we’ve never seen before.

So, what do you say, DC? Let’s bring David Mazouz back to the world of Batman and let him show us what he can do as Tim Drake. It’s a casting decision that could pay off big time, and it’s one that fans of the character would be thrilled to see.
