Batman: James Gunn denies this rumor about the next Dark Knight

After Superman: Legacy, James Gunn and Peter Safran must tell us several stories centered on cult DC characters. A DCU in full overhaul after the failure of its previous version, which will begin with a bang in 2025. Speculations and rumors are rife in the meantime, the opportunity for James Gunn to help us untangle the truth from the falsehood.

What about the successor to Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson?

Supergirl: Woman of Tommorow, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, < em>Swamp Thing,The Authority,The DCU is still in formation. The DC cinematic universe, imagined this time by James Gunn and Peter Safran, seems to be trying everything for the tour. It's hard to see Warner shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars again to continue to multiply box-office failures. Can superhero movies still work? It seems so. That's what Deadpool & Wolverine and its $1.2 billion box office revenue.

But does James Gunn have what it takes to do as well, or even better, than Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine? Hard to say. The first film in this new DCU, Superman: Legacy, will be released in 2025. The new Superman has already been found, in the person of David Corenswet. What about the others? Rumors are rife and many Internet users are speculating on the identities of the actors and actresses who will lend their features to Supergirl, Wonder Woman and of course, Batman.

Indeed, James Gunn is reportedly planning to pair the Dark Knight with Damian Wayne, who would later become Robin.

But on Threads, Meta's Twitter, James Gunn responded to these rumors, and he didn't hold back. James Gunn was categorical, calling this idea “bullshit.”
