James Gunn debunks rumors of George Clooney returning as Batman and being the main Batman in the new DC Universe
James Gunn responds to the rumors of George Clooney returning as Batman in the DC Universe after starring in Batman & Robin. The DC Universe is starting over on the big screen following the launch of DC Studios back in November 2022. The current DCEU will come to an end with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, but before that, The Flash movie will serve as a reset. Under Gunn and Safran's leadership, they are now in charge of television, movies, animation, and video games related to the DCU.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While they have only just started, rumors are already surfacing about characters and actors that are being lined up for the DCU. With The Flash movie bringing back two Batman actors, a recent rumor suggested another actor was being eyed to appear in the film, but Gunn shut it down.
Clooney, who played the iconic role in Batman & Robin, was rumored to not only appear in The Flash film, but then continue being part of the DCU. It didn't take long for fans to inquire with Gunn if this was true or not. Gunn, who has debunked and cleared up rumors before, stated that a new actor will be cast for the DCU. The co-CEO also added that there is no truth to Clooney coming back in The Flash.
Even though casting has not even started for Batman, Gunn has stated this version of Bruce will be around 30 years old. Similar to The Batman, The Brave and The Bold will not be an origin story. Instead, this iteration of the Dark Knight is already an active crime fighter with an established Bat-Family around him. It has yet to be clarified which members will actually appear in The Brave and the Bold outside of Damian as the new Robin.
It would never have made sense for Clooney to come back as Batman. Not only was Batman & Robin a commercial and critical bomb, but Clooney wouldn't fit with the age range that DC Studios is targeting for their take on the Gotham vigilante. Hopefully, as the year progresses, more details about the DCU's Batman will begin to emerge, including who will be the next actor to don the cape and cowl.
