The DC Universe is abuzz with excitement over James Gunn’s latest Superman film, but the spotlight isn’t just on the Man of Steel. Fans are eagerly anticipating the Dark Knight’s return and how Batman will fit into this new era of the DCU.
While Batman doesn’t make a physical appearance in Superman, there are subtle nods like a road sign for Gotham City, hinting at his existence in this universe. This tease sets the stage for what’s to come in the DC Universe reboot.
Rumors are swirling about the possibility of existing Batman versions crossing paths with David Corenswet’s Superman. Could Robert Pattinson’s gritty portrayal from Matt Reeves’s The Batman join forces with Corenswet in future projects?
Gunn’s inclusion of characters like Peacemaker from the DCEU hints at a connected universe rather than a complete reboot. This move opens up possibilities for crossovers and interwoven storylines, much like what Marvel has successfully achieved.
Despite the potential for multiverse storytelling in the DC Universe, Gunn seems focused on maintaining distinct tones for different Batman iterations. While the gritty realism of Reeves’s Batman may not align with Corenswet’s Superman, there’s still room for creative storytelling.
Gunn’s vision for Batman extends to a new project, “The Brave and the Bold,” focusing on Bruce Wayne and his son Damian Wayne taking on the Robin mantle. This fresh take on the dynamic duo promises a unique narrative within the DC Universe.
As fans eagerly await the unfolding of these interconnected stories, Gunn’s approach to Batman in the DCU offers a blend of familiarity and innovation. While the future of Batman’s presence in this universe remains intriguingly uncertain, one thing is clear—exciting times lie ahead for DC fans.
