In case you’re not very terminally on-line, you could have missed this story and rumor. And to be truthful, we do try to ignore a few of these wild rumors, however this one has been so loopy it’s prompted DC Studios co-chief James Gunn to reply.
Let’s again up a bit. Late this week, a brand new rumor surfaced. It stated that “The Flash,” starring Ezra Miller—the brand new trailer of which is due someday as we speak— was present process one final reshoot. The concept was reportedly that an end-credit with Ben Affleck’s model of Batman was being scrapped. Instead, an previous basic Batman would seem that was not Michael Keaton, who’s already a part of the movie. Got that? That principally meant Christian Bale, Val Kilmer, or George Clooney. And by some form of proof of elimination or sport phone, followers and a few on-line pundits had surmised that George Clooney’s model of The Batman would seem on this new end-credit sequence.
Now, none of that is remotely official or confirmed. However, James Gunn has responded to those rumors. Fans began speculating that Clooney, if he does seem certainly, could be the brand new Batman within the DC Studios’ future and the upcoming “Batman Brave & The Bold” movie that Gunn just lately introduced when he revealed all the ten challenge DC Studios slate just lately.
So Gunn answered two questions, each of which he replied to instantly. “Is it true you’re casting George Clooney as the new main DCU Batman?” was the query, and his response was, “absolutely not.”
The second query, “Does this mean we’re still getting an actor who has already batman or were getting a new actor all together?” was responded to with “New actor.”
So, there we’ve it in a nutshell. While this would appear to utterly pour water on the thought of Clooney displaying up someplace in “The Flash,” observe that Gunn didn’t debunk that half.
But it’s very clear. Clooney received’t be showing as Batman in future DC Studios movies, and at any time when they begin casting, this new Bruce Wayne and Batman will likely be performed by a wholly new actor. “Brave And The Bold,” which can function Robin for the primary time in a Batman movie because the aforementioned Clooney motion pictures, isn’t anticipated till 2027 on the earliest, so we’re in all probability not getting particulars on casting for a number of years. Hang tight till then. If you’re a DC fan, you’re not less than getting 4 DC movies this yr, together with “The Flash” and “Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom.”
