Batman Video Game Fans Are Feeling the Pain Too After Today's James Gunn News

Batman fans are eating… well, bad. Or not much at all. We’re actually starving. Across both video games and movies.

You’ve no doubt seen today’s shocking news that DCU bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran are out at Warner Br… er, Skydance. And thus, the DCU Batman might not even happen. Or rather, there definitely will be a new big-screen Batman eventually, but Gunn’s entire DCU plan may very well be out the window and we might be starting over. Again. Sigh…

Batman has always been my favorite superhero, and so today’s Gunn news has been bumming me out a little more than expected, because I realized that when you account for what’s going on with the Dark Knight in games and movies – or maybe more specifically, what’s not going on, it’s time to accept that we’re in a proper Batman drought.

To zoom out on the movies for a moment, the last time we saw Batman on the big screen was four years ago, via Matt Reeves’s brilliant Robert Pattinson-led The Batman. Prior to that, the Caped Crusader showed up in live-action form in The Snyder Cut of Justice League in 2021 – though obviously that was a movie we’d mostly already seen. And it was a superhero ensemble. With apologies to Batman vs. Superman, where Batfleck had to share the screen with Henry Cavill (though I will always appreciate it solely for the warehouse scene, which is my favorite Batman fight scene ever), you have to go all the way back to Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises in 2012 for the last proper live-action Batman film before Matt Reeves’s 2022 gem.
