Original article:
After Patty Jenkins shared her version of what is happening in DC and the reasons for her departure from the ‘Wonder Woman’ franchise, James Gunn replied to the director simply assuring: “I can attest that all of Peter’s (Safran) and mine interactions with you have been pleasant and professional.” Thus the man who is now co-director of DC Studios, who is working with his partner on a restructuring of the entire extended universe to connect it into a single shared reality, has shown synthetic.
To achieve this, we have seen for months that DC and Warner Bros. will suffer casualties, like what happened with ‘Batgirl’ and now ‘Wonder Woman 3’, and a similar carnage will have to happen with Batman. , because right now there are at least 3 official Bruce Waynes. Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck play their respective versions of the Dark Knight in ‘The Flash’ and Robert Pattinson is Matt Reeves’ ‘revenge’ in ‘The Batman’, but Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has been very forthright about it it: “You will see a lot of growth and opportunity in DC, there won’t be four Batmans”.
Who stays and who goes? Will they look for a new Batman for that shared Universe and forget about all the other incarnations and their respective Jokers? According to what Variety calls “a well-placed source,” Gunn and Safran are exploring the possibility of incorporating Pattinson’s Batman into their new universe, counting on Reeves. But nothing else is known, even how it fits into the series “The Penguin” that Colin Farrell is already filming, nor the rest of the projects that the director has in mind.
Now all eyes are on Henry Cavill’s future as Superman, because according to The Hollywood Reporter, neither the announcement that there would be a new Man of Steel episode nor his appearance in “Black Adam” have been lifesaver floats for this incarnation of the character, which could end with a fate similar to that of Diana of Themyscira. It seems that with Zack Snyder’s Snyderverse, a slate is coming so clean that even Jason Momoa may quit playing “Aquaman.”
Beyond bringing together alternate realities, Warner Bros. just wants to save money (or make more money), and two unnamed sources told Variety that before Gunn and Safran took over the reins at DC, company co-head Pam Abdy, had to say the director of ‘Aquaman and the lost kingdom’, James Wan, to reduce its budget for the sequel, which has already reached 205 million dollars.
What about Gunn’s plans?
Gunn himself directed a film for DC, ‘The Suicide Squad,’ which led to a series with John Cena, ‘The Peacemaker,’ which in principle has a guaranteed second season for HBO Max.
