If you have been a little updated with what is happening in the world of superheroes, James Gunn came to DC to reboot everything he considered to be wrong, and is that the movies that have been released in recent years, has been nothing more than reboot, and that’s what is being done. James Gunn decided that what had been done was not enough and had to change everything, so he pressed the red button and everything will be redone, then it was normal that the question of what will happen to Batman came out?
A new version of Batman came out, a very dark one and starring Robert Pattinson, which was quite well accepted and people gave him their approval, so if everything was rebooted, the question of what will happen with his movie came up, but James Gunn has already answered everything.
James Gunn talks about what will happen to Robert Pattinson’s Batman after reboot
Warner Bros. will continue to release The Batman Part II in the middle of DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, but as a DC Elseworlds title, in a different universe than films like Gunn’s Superman: Legacy.
On Thursday, a follower asked Gunn on Threads, “Why isn’t director Matt Reeves’ The Batman allowed to exist within the new DCU?”
“It’s not an ‘allowed’ thing,” Gunn replied. “It’s Matt’s decision and we respect it.”
The director continue about the subject in a different time:
“DCU is a multiverse, but we will focus on one universe in that multiverse. And if anything is, In DCU, we’re going to make that very clear. So, in strictly adult movies, like Todd Phillips’ Joker or kids’ animations like Team Titans Go, we’re going to make it very clear that those are DC Elseworlds in the same way that I would be doing in the comics.”
But well, it’s perfectly understandable, just as we saw The Joker movie that caused a big stir, Batman is expected to be the same, although the truth is that personally, I feel that he lacked a little to reach what Joker did.
What do you think about it? Do you think Robert Pattinson’s Batman movie should also have a darker tone?
