Summary
James Gunn responds if Batman will be record up inSuperman : Legacyahead of his ownDC Universemovie . Gunn ’s DC Universe is finally getting ready to start this year , as theSuperman : Legacymovieis soon to enter production . This will be the first DC Universe picture that in good order establish Chapter 1 , " Gods and Monsters , " with several other movies and television receiver shows set to play along inSuperman : Legacy ’s footsteps .
WiththeSuperman : Legacycastgetting ready to start principal photography in Atlanta in March , there is still one major DC participant that fans have been wondering about . Gunnwas recently asked on Threads why Batman ca n’t seem inSuperman : Legacy , with the filmmaker having a simple answer .
Gunn explain that the reason why Batman is n’t point up inSuperman : Legacyis because"he ’s not in the script,“confirming once and for all that Bruce on the face of it is n’t part of the picture show at all .
Excitement is building for Superman : Legacy ’s costume reveal , and with the movie sprout in 3 months , here are all the recognise particular about the suit .
Why Batman Doesn’t Need To Be In Superman: Legacy
As excited as many are to see the new Batman and Superman together on the big screen down the line , there is no reason for him to be inSuperman : Legacy . For starter , audience have been slightly oversaturated with the theatrical role in recent on - screen history , as he is more in DC motion picture and TV shows than any other superhero or supervillain . As such , Gunn ’s DC Universestarting out with aSupermanmovie that somehow also cistron in Batman could feel extremely forced .
Having Batman be kept out ofSuperman : Legacyallows other DC hero to shine alternatively , with grapheme like Guy Gardner , Hawkgirl , Metamorpho , and Mister Terrific being figures inSuperman : Legacy ’s confirmed form who have previously see comparatively little big screen focus . Indeed , this choice makes fussy sense give the Dark Knight is already go down to asterisk in his own solo motion picture , meaning fans wo n’t have to wait for too recollective to see the DCU rendition of the iconic character , and will get introduced to many underrated DC fighter in the meantime .
As of right now , it is ill-defined if Bruce will make his DC Universe entry prior toBatman : The Brave and The Bold .
Time will tell who ends up playing Batman in the DC Universe , with the wait for the casting reveal belike only building up more expectancy and hype for the enfranchisement . With the Caped Crusader being such a popular DC grinder , it will be interesting to see who really gets ramble in the role . Hopefully , the DC Universe will have its new Batman preferably rather than later , even if he is n’t popping up inSuperman : Legacy .
