After the Big Announcement, James Gunn Reveals His Thoughts on the New Batman

James Gunn revealed more about his plan for DCU. After Henry Cavill’s
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] exit, the burning question remains:
Who will play Superman? While fans are excited about the new upcoming films and
series, they are also wondering about the other replacements. Following Ben
Affleck’s exit as Batman, fans wonder who the new face of the character would
be. Will it be someone new? Or will Ben Affleck be back? Well, James Gunn has
some ideas about it.



While revealing his plans and upcoming films and series, Gunn said his favorite
Robin was Damian. The Brave and the Bold will follow the story of Bruce Wayne
training his son, Damian. And the film will be based on Grant Morrison’s Batman
comic (2006-2013). Although Gunn knows he wants a younger Superman for Superman
Legacy, he revealed his take on the Bat Family as well. Let us see what the new
DC boss thinks about the iconic character.

JAMES GUNN’S TAKE ON THE NEW BATMAN

Talking about his new plans, Gunn revealed some important pieces of information
about the forthcoming The Brave and The Bold. He revealed as Superman was living
in a place where superheroes existed. He was working as a reporter, as we saw in
Man of Steel. So, this meant that Batman would be, of course, elder than
Superman. Therefore, DC Studios might cast an actor in his 30s or 40s for Bruce
Wayne, reported Sportskeeda
[https://www.sportskeeda.com/comics/after-henry-cavill-james-gunn-teases-new-batman-replacement-ben-affleck].
We saw in Snyderverse that Bruce Wayne was already older than Clark Kent.



In the comic book, Bruce Wayne is already in his 30s-40s as he teams up with his
biological son. Damian is about 10 or 11 when he becomes Robin, according to the
source material. This means Wayne and his occasional lover and enemy Talia al
Ghul might have conceived Damian in their late 20s or early 30s. Therefore, it
would be logical to portray the father in his late 30s or 40s in the film.
However, there is also a possibility of Gunn casting an actor who’s in his 30s.
The reason is simply that the actor could stay longer with the DC universe to
portray the character.


WHAT CAN FANS EXPECT FROM THE UPCOMING FILM?

Well, this is certainly the best news for all the Batman and DCU fans. As they
are excited to see what will happen in the film, they can surely expect more
fun. The Brave and The Bold will introduce the Bat Family, including Batman’s
sidekicks. Reportedly, Gunn also revealed he had met with Ben Affleck, who is
already perceived as a real-life Bruce Wayne
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-ben-afflecks-latest-85-million-house-is-a-testament-that-he-infact-is-a-real-life-bruce-wayne-aka-batman/],
about the upcoming Batman project. The actor also responded positively,
expressing his interest. Therefore, fans might see Affleck as the director of
the project.
