James Gunn says the latest DCU Batman casting rumor is completely false.
Should the Batman/Penguin universe be included in James Gunn's new DCU?
At this time, no one has been officially cast for the role of the Dark Knight in Gunn and Peter Safran's upcoming DCU. It is known that Batman will appear in The Brave and the Bold, which is being directed by Andy Muschietti; however, the film does not yet have a release date and it is unclear if said film will mark the Caped Crusader's first official DCU appearance.
What does seem clear at this point is that the Dark Knight will not be a middle-aged man.
On Threads, Gunn responded to a now-deleted post from @smallcreeno claiming that DC Studios is “reportedly looking for a middle-aged man to play Batman.” Gunn specifically said the rumor was “bullsh—.”
