‘Totally False’: James Gunn Shoots Down Persistent DCU Batman Casting Rumor

While plot details for Batman’s first cinematic outing in the DC Universe, The Brave and the Bold, are scarce, DC Studios co-president and co-CEO James Gunn debunked a rumor that involves the casting of the Caped Crusader in the DCU.Gunn was asked by a fan on Threads if it was true that a new actor for the Dark Knight was about to be cast and how they were going, to which he responded, “Keep getting this question, don’t know where it’s coming from but, wherever it is, it’s totally false. We don’t have a script yet.” Prior to this, Gunn had stated that Jensen Ackles isn’t playing Batman in The Brave and the Bold in 2023, similarly remarking at the time that this claim was false because “there’s no script yet.”Moving on to The Brave and the Bold itself, it was confirmed that The Flash director Andy Muschietti would helm the project, with Gunn and his partner Peter Safran stating, “We saw The Flash; even before taking the reins at DC Studios, and knew we were in the hands of not only a visionary director but a massive DC fan. It’s a magnificent film – funny, emotional, thrilling – and Andy’s affinity and passion for these characters and this world just resonates through every frame. So, when it came time to find a director for The Brave and the Bold, there was really only one choice.”
