\nWould Joe Russo take Batman back down the Christian Bale route?<\/p>\n

DC Comics\/Ron Phillips <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Avengers: Endgame<\/a> co-director Joe Russo wouldn't mind a trip to Gotham City's mean streets.<\/p>\n

Russo, who directed the MCU mega-hit with his brother Anthony, was happy to answer a fan's query about which DC character he'd like to direct during a Q&A session with our sister site Comicbook.com<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

"As far as what I collected as a kid, I collected Batman. [That] was one of the DC characters I collected," Russo said<\/a>. "So it would have to be Batman."<\/p>\n

The Caped Crusader's next cinematic outing, The Batman, is expected to open in 2021 from director Matt Reeves<\/a>. Ben Affleck, who played the character in Batman vs Superman<\/a>, Suicide Squad<\/a> and Justice League<\/a>, won't be returning<\/a> to the role.<\/p>\n

His nemesis, the Joker, will get a solo outing<\/a> in October.<\/p>\n

Russo didn't make any more comments his DC hopes, but did offer some MCU tidbits \u2014 apparently some drafts of Endgame predecessor Avengers: Infinity War<\/a> gave us more of archvillain Thanos' past.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Now playing: Watch this: Avengers: Endgame is a thrilling sequel to every MCU\u2026<\/p>\n
