## Key points

- DCU Batman casting is approaching, but no actor has been selected.
- Gunn says Batman and Superman will be around the same age.
- The Brave and the Bold’s Damian Wayne story is still uncertain.

## Summary

James Gunn says the DCU is “not very far away” from casting Batman, though no actor has been chosen yet. He wants to consider actors for the role based on their performance, even if they have had a small part elsewhere in the DCU.

Gunn said Batman and Superman will be roughly the same age and portrayed as contemporaries and future friends. Since Superman is in his early 30s in the 2025 film, the new Batman is expected to be in a similar age bracket; how the planned film The Brave and the Bold will handle Damian Wayne remains unclear.
