Fan CastingThe Dark Knight Returns (2028)

Years after faking his death, an aging Bruce Wayne lives in exile as Gotham slowly crumbles under a new wave of crime. Bruce Wayne has lived in silence, haunted by the legacy he left behind—and the city he swore to protect. Gotham, now a colder, more fractured place, is ruled not by fear, but by uncertainty. A new menace rises from the shadows: a brilliant yet elusive figure known as The Riddler, who orchestrates a campaign of intellectual terror. His riddles aren't games—they're traps, coded messages leading to chaos, and they expose the deepest rot within Gotham's institutions. As the city begins to devour itself, Bruce feels the pull of the cowl once more. But this is not the world he knew—and he is not the man he once was. Aging, wounded, and morally torn, he must face not only the mystery behind The Riddler, but also the cost of returning to the shadows. In a city where truth is weaponized and justice is elusive, the legend of the Dark Knight must rise again… or be buried forever.
