What James Gunn said about updates for the DCU Batman movie

James Gunn has said we won’t get any news about The Brave and the Bold until a complete script is finished, explaining he can’t predict when that will be. He also mentioned they’re making good progress on The Batman – Part II and wants to avoid sharing updates about multiple Batman projects at the same time.

James Gunn explained he doesn’t plan to release two Batman films in one year. He emphasized that he highly values both Batman and Wonder Woman, but believes releasing two Batman movies simultaneously wouldn’t be the right approach.

James Gunn confirmed the script is still being refined, explaining that it often feels almost finished, only to require another round of revisions. He agreed with a fan who pointed out that script development isn’t an exact science, but rather a creative process. Gunn also debunked rumors about auditions for Batman and Wonder Woman, stating they are untrue.

James Gunn responded to questions about potentially having two different Batman movies by saying he wants to wait until after ‘The Batman 2’ is released in October 2027 before addressing it. He emphasized the importance of both Batman and Wonder Woman, but clarified he doesn’t plan to release two Batman films in the same year, suggesting ‘The Brave and the Bold’ will come out well after Matt Reeves’ sequel.

James Gunn revealed that a new, secret DC Universe project has been approved and shared positive updates about the progress of ‘The Dynamic Duo,’ saying it’s going exceptionally well. Regarding Clayface, he explained that James Watkins is currently still included in the initial edit, and that producers typically give directors space during that phase.
