DC Studios Chief James Gunn has shot down yet one more rumor from reviled YouTuber Grace Randolph, this time in regards to the DCU’s Batman.
Late final week, Randolph tweeted, “I hear that it’s going to be a former Batman who cameos at the end of The Flash & could potentially stick around as the new permanent DCU Batman.”
“Damian’s Dad, Pattinson is still solo.”
“I know who it is; but it would be uncool to reveal the whole thing.”
On Saturday, Gunn was requested on Twitter if George Clooney would be the new DCU Batman, which Gunn responded, “absolutely not.”
Gunn was requested by a Twitter person, “Does this mean were still getting an actor who has already batman or were getting a new actor all together?” “New Actor,” Gunn responded.
Gunn beforehand final summer season reminded DC followers the next about Randolph, “The earth revolves around the sun, mothers love their children, & Grace Randolph will spout bulls–t.”
What We Know So Far in regards to the DCU Batman
The recently-announced The Brave and the Bold film is ready to revolve across the Bruce Wayne model of Batman and his son Damian, the fifth Robin. During the DC Studios presentation on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California, James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed that the film is ready to introduce the primary Batman of the DC Universe.
Robert Pattinson’s Batman is anticipated to stay exterior of the DC Universe, as a part of the DC Elseworlds imprint, with Matt Reeves directing and co-writing his second film for an October 2025 release. As such, Warner Bros. is casting a second model of the Dark Knight for its DC Universe.
“The Brave and the Bold. This is the introduction of the DCU Batman, Bruce Wayne, and also our favorite Robin, Damian Wayne,” James Gunn teased in the course of the 55-minute DC Universe presentation. “[Damian] is a little son of a bitch, an assassin murderer, who [Bruce] unwittingly takes on, who is Batman’s actual son that he doesn’t know exists for the first eight to ten years of his life. It’s a very strange sort of father and son story about the two of them.”
The DC Studios co-head added the next in regards to the Batman and Robin film, which doesn’t but have a launch date: “It’s based on Grant Morrison’s run on the Batman. There’s a couple of comic book writers that have been exceptionally influential on our stuff and Grant Morrison and Tom King are probably the two primary ones.”
