As audience members count down the days to the release of Superman, director James Gunn is fielding certain long-standing questions about the future fate of the DCU.
Rebooting the DC Universe from the ground up, the 58-year-old Gunn has had his hands full plotting out the course of DC's cinematic trajectory. But as speculation runs rampant about the rumors of projects centered around Batman, Wonder Woman or Green Lantern, the former Guardians of the Galaxy is sharing his candid thoughts on each character's presence in the DCU.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn specifically discussed the significant wait behind a solo Batman film, referring to the character as the "biggest issue in all of DC right now."
“Batman has to have a reason for existing, right?" Gunn said. "So Batman can’t just be ‘Oh, we’re making a Batman movie because Batman’s the biggest character in all of Warner Bros.,’ which he is."
"I’m not interested in a funny, campy Batman, really," the director continued. "So we’re dealing with that. I think I have a way in, by the way. I think I really know what it’s — I just am dealing with the writer to make sure that we can make it a reality.”
Earlier this year, a DCU-oriented Batman film entered production. Titled The Brave and the Bold, the project will follow the Caped Crusader as he struggles to connect with his estranged son, Damian.
Meanwhile, Gunn continues to oversee development of a sequel to director Matt Reeves' The Batman. As the film slowly chugs along in its early production phases, Gunn also discussed the potential for Robert Pattinson's iteration of the Dark Knight to appear in the DCU -- a prospect Gunn called unlikely, but also not impossible.
"I would never say zero, because you just never know," Gunn said. "But it’s not likely. It’s not likely at all."
