James Gunn Clarifies DCU Superman and Batman Age Rumors
Not much is known about the upcoming and projects that James Gunn will be introducing into the DC Universe. In a recent conversation on social media, however, Gunn did clarify how old these superheroes might be.
In a thread on Twitter, Gunn was asked how old the Batman that will appear in DC Studios’ film will be. Gunn responded that no actor has been cast, therefore there is no age for the character as of yet. Later in the conversation, Gunn responded to a fan citing Superman’s age, saying that all he ever said was that Superman would be “younger than in his forties” when the new film comes out and that “Batman might be a couple years older than Superman.”
He hasn’t been cast yet.
Yeah but people are speculating about both ages. All I ever said was Superman was younger than in his forties and Batman MIGHT be a couple years older than Superman.
Gunn also clarified in a tweet later in the thread that he “never” said that Superman would be a 25-year-old, but that it keeps getting reported that he did. He didn’t offer up any concrete answers on what fans can expect, though, so fans will have to wait a bit longer to find out exactly who the next Superman and Batman will be.
Nope! It keeps getting repeated but I never said that.
At the end of January, Gunn unveiled some of the upcoming DC Universe schedule, with two of the standout projects being a brand new project titled, which will be written by Gunn, and a film based on the iconic comic book run by Grant Morrison, which will feature a new Batman, as well as introduce the DC Universe to Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s son.
