James Gunn says that crafting the DCU's Batman, and finding the right actor to play him, is the studio's biggest issue right now.
"It would be a consideration. We’d have to think about it. We’d have to think about it. It is not like we’ve never discussed it," Gunn told Rolling Stone when asked if he would consider making Robert Pattinson the DCU's Batman, since they've yet to cast one. The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, currently exists alongside The Penguin in its own universe, separate from Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, the upcoming Superman movie, etc.
"I would never say zero, because you just never know. But it’s not likely. It’s not likely at all. I’ll also say Batman Part 2 is not canceled," Gunn continued. "That’s the other thing I hear all the time – that Batman Part 2 is canceled. It’s not canceled. We don’t have a script. Matt’s slow. Let him take his time. Let him do what he’s doing. God, people are mean. Let him do his thing, man."
Added Gunn: "Batman’s my biggest issue in all of DC right now, personally. And it’s not — I’m not writing Batman, but I am working with the writer of Batman and trying to get it right, because he’s incredibly important to DC, as is Wonder Woman. So outside of the stuff that I’m doing in the projects that are actively going, our two priorities are finishing our Wonder Woman and our Batman scripts."
