James Gunn offers tantalizing insights into the upcoming Batman movie in the DC Universe, yet leaves fans yearning for more details about the sequel featuring The Dark Knight.
Get ready, DC fans! James Gunn, the DC Studios co-CEO, has some big updates on the upcoming Batman movies!
In a chat with Rolling Stone, Gunn revealed that he may have found a way to bring The Brave and The Bold's script to life. This movie, a part of the DC Universe (DCU), has been a tough nut to crack since its announcement, but Gunn seems optimistic about the upcoming story progression.
When asked about the status of The Batman Part II, Gunn confirmed that the film hasn't been canceled and reminded fans to be patient with director Matt Reeves, who's known for taking his time.
However, the conversation on Batman's future doesn't end here. The question still lingers: how to differentiate the DCU's Batman from the one in Matt Reeves' universe? Gunn previously emphasized the importance of making the DCU's Batman distinct from the gritty, grounded universe Reeves has created. Some fans suggest merging the two universes, but Gunn has played down these ideas, stating that it's "not likely at all."
Despite continued discussions about a potential union of the universes, there are currently no confirmed plans for merging the DCU and Matt Reeves' universe[1][2][3]. With two distinct Batman characters planned – one in the DCU and another in the Reeves-verse – it seems that the DCU's Batman will maintain his unique character[2].
Stay tuned for more updates on both "The Brave and the Bold" and "The Batman Part II" as we get closer to their releases!
