A new Batman is coming. No, not the Matt Reeves sequel, though that, too, is coming. We mean James Gunn’s Batman. The new DCU Batman. The one we’ll potentially see on screen with David Corenswet’s Superman, Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart, John Cena’s Peacemaker, and others.
Gunn and fellow DC President Peter Safran have long made it clear that Batman will play a key role in their ongoing DC Universe, and that he won’t be played by Robert Pattinson. So who will it be and when? On his new podcast canonizing The Suicide Squad, Gunn teased fans that the casting is coming and gave a few other details too.
“It won’t be too long before we’re casting Batman,” Gunn says on the podcast. “We haven’t cast yet, by the way. All the people thinking he’ll show up in this or that, it’s all bullshit. When we do cast the DCU Batman, which isn’t very far away, if I gave somebody a day role in The Suicide Squad that is going to be the best Batman, I’m not going to rule him out from that. I want to get everybody into account. One of the things that excites me about casting Batman is being able to pick a Batman who’s actually the best actor for that role. Superman’s have always been chosen based on who the best actor for that role is. And for some reason, Batmans are always chosen as movie stars.”
