The director of Flash Andy Muschietti he is currently busy directing DC Studios’ Batman film The brave and the boldand it’s a project he’ll dive into fully after finishing with HBO’s IT prequel series Welcome To Derry.
But a new rumor has started circulating about the project from Hollywood scooper @MyTimeToShineH. He said: “[DC Studios] I want to cast a middle-aged man to play Batman in the DCU.”
Well, Gunn has come out to harshly debunk this rumor. When asked about it on Threads, Gunn responded with one word… “Bullshit.”

This is the story of Damian Wayne, who is the real son of Batman who we didn’t know existed for the first 8-10 years of his life. He grew up as a little murderer and murderer. He’s a little son of a bitch. He’s my favorite Robin.”
“It’s based on the Grant Morrison comic, which is one of my favorite Batman comics, and we’re putting it together right now.”
Co-CEO of DC Studios, Pietro Safranhe added, “And this is obviously a feature film, and will feature other members of the extended ‘Bat family,’ only because we feel they’ve been left out of Batman stories in theaters for too long.” .”
