James Gunn Did Contemplate Adding Pattinson S Batman To The Dcu

Recently, in an interview, James Gunn revealed that Robert Pattinson could have been the Batman for DCU but then the plan was dropped. But why did that happen? Let’s find out what James Gunn had to say.

James Gunn Wants to Keep DCU and Elseworld Separate

James Gunn on the Happy Sad Confused podcast was asked if he ever considered getting Robert Pattinson to play Batman in the DCU. To this, Gunn replied that he did contemplate getting Robert Pattinson in the DC Studios, but he dropped the idea because he wanted to keep the stories of DCU and Elseworld separate from each other. In his comment, Gunn stated,
Knowing this as a fan, it’s fascinating to me cause imagine watching David Corenswet’s Superman bump into Robert Pattinson’s Batman, it would have been so cool. However, considering that DCU and Elseworld are just alternate timelines in the DC Universe, there is a possibility that if the DCU movies forward toward a Crisis on Infinite Earths story, there can be a point shortly where the two universes collide. However, there are no reports of a confirmed actor playing the Caped Crusader in Batman Brave and The Bold but as soon as we have some updates regarding it, we will let you guys know ASAP!
