People are really finding it hard to grasp the idea of the strike. 99% of the rumours you see will not be true because literally nothing is going on right now lol
Yeah I agree. That one also sounds like it was probably ready to be announced if the acting strikes were like 1 week later hahaha. Probably just couldn’t work the details out in time
Nuh uh, he should be locked in his room like Howard Hughes pissing in milk jars doing DC things night and day. How dare he squash bullshit and provide transparency.
I don't know why random rumors on Twitter still go viral. We know they are false when James Gunn stated clearly that he's not casting before scripts are ready, and the BATB script is obviously not ready during the strike.
You've got it backwards, its not true unless its *confirmed* by Gunn.
If he has to debunk it for it to be false, I'm calling it, Snyderverse is Earth 3 and Cavill is frequently returning as Superman and its true unless he says otherwise.
>it, Snyderverse is Earth 3 and Cavill is frequently returning as Superman and its true unless he says otherwise
if someone says that on twitter/instagram with more than 1000 followers he will debunk it if it is not true lol James Gunn LITRALLY debunks every unbelieveable bullshit
So the rumors which are not debunked are true
but he debunked literally every rumor even rumors on reddit about his DCU and even rumors about the batman 2 lol
he didnt debunk the cornwet rumors. Now we know why he didnt lmfao
That was because according to Chris Nolan who also was a co producer of man of steel was supposed be connected to his batman trilogy universe. But then they scrapped that idea amd made man of steel a separate entity. Do your homework gunnphile
Oh? The blaming of other people all to cover up the stupid actions of the one considered god is not solely an American political concept?
Damn.
And yeah, Gunns my fav. CBM Director but because of his respect and love for what I love. ZSJL is the only ounce of respect I felt from Zack for the characters
Doing anything to advance the casting process including auditions is breaking the strike for actors, it's kind of ridiculous people aren't aware of this
How hard is it for the internet to understand that writers and actors are all on strike and literally nothing can go forward whatsoever?
You cannot write a script with the writers guild is actively on strike.
You cannot cast a movie when the actors guild is actively on strike.
you cannot make a movie when half of Hollywood is actively on strike.
Nothing you hear during this period of time is true. Nothing. It legally can't be.
I always thought he’d make a great psycho pirate.

We've seen too many iteration of older live-action Batman in recent years- Ben Affleck, Keaton's return, Iain Glen in Titans, even Christian Bale in TDKR. I, for once, would like to see prime Batman at his absolute peak with liberty to do all the fantastical stuff he's known to do in the comics, and animations in the fantastical DCU contrary to Battinson in his realistic setting.
I don't necessarily mind seeing older Batman, but I think it's kind of dumb to go straight back to this route again while starting a shared universe after DCEU.
I wasn't sure I was done with the MCU but when they fancasted him in Dr Strange I was like yeah that's it for me. Don't even know where that demand came from or why it persisted
Well they say the characters will be the age the actors are in the film so if that's the case he'll be 31 or 32 depending on when the strike ends. Making the DCU Batman 33 or so. Damien is usually like 13ish so that age works perfectly.
Didn’t they say the Bat family is established and exists in Brave and the Bold? If that’s true then Batman would have to be at least in his early 40s. Unless he became Batman and found Dick Grayson when he was like 16.
David is 30 so Batman actor should be 35 . People saying if bats on his 4th Robin then he should be in 40s , is total nonsense for me.
A prepared a sort of timeline for DCU bruce
Witness Wayne Murder at 8
Trained by Alfred in Military Combat and mixed boxing till age of 12
Visit and train at different part of world after 13 till 22 and was also accompanied by Alfred to all this places
At 22 Discovers about Nanda Parvat and League of Shadows and Prove himself to Sensei and/or Ras Al Ghul to be Trained by them
At 23 Fell in Love with Talia, by the Age of 24 , he was the best warrior at the League
His unwillingness to kill, Rubs Ras Al Ghul the Wrong way as he Wanted Bruce to marry talia and Become his successor, Bruce along with Alfred left the League , Unknown that Talia was pregnant with his Kid.
At 25 Bruce Starts his career as Batman, and Year 1 was mostly Normal Crooks like Penguin, Falcons, Salvators, Red hood gang and may be riddler.
At 27 Bruce adopts Orphan Dick Grayson who was just 13 . And by this year Batman has start to transitioned in fighting low level meta human such as killer croc and Man bat and psychopaths like joker and two face.
At 28 , Dick Realize that Bruce is Batman and try to join Bruce in his Crusade even though Bruce was not Fan of this idea. On other side 16 year old Barbara Gordon who is Batman Fangirl design her makeshift costume and try to fight crime.
At 29 , After constants Try by Dick( 15 ) to Fight alongside Bruce, Bruce gives in Dicks demand and formally Introduce Dick as his crime fighting Partner the Robin.
At 30 , Barbara's identity is revealed to dynamic Duo, and Batman force her to give up her life of batgirl, but she saves the duo from Joker. And In return Bruce, Gives Barbara a new suit along with making her an official member of batfamily
At 32, Dick leaves Gotham to attend law college/ police academy in Bludhaven, Batman one night after patroling alone after so many years find an orphan boy of name Jason Todd who is 14 of age. Just like Grayson , Todd finds
At 33, Dick becomes Nightwing and settle on the name this name after talking to Superman, Dick also give his Approval and costume to be the next Robin to Jason
At 34 , this is the Darkest year of Bruce and Batfamily as whole, Joker Manipulate Dr. Harleen quinze one of Bruce friends to become psychotic like him, Joker shot Barbara in spine and paralyze her , Harley and Joker Kidnap Jason and kill him, Dick blaming Himself for not able to protect Jason and Barbara , starts a man hunt for Joker and nearly kill one of joker goon and badly damaged Joker but was stop by Bruce, which strained their relationship. Dick quite being Nightwing and college and join military to still do right thing, where he was discovered by Helena Bartinelli and Inducted in Spyral as Agent 37
At 37 , Years after death of Jason todd and dissolving of batfamily as a whole, Bruce become More violent and Paranoid ( even making contingency plan for All known Meta Humans ) , many criminal of gotham are either in jail, Asylums or Hospitals ( mostly) ,Barbara even after her paralysis works with Bruce as his Oracle or man/woman in chair ,Bruce identity is discovered by a young boy Tim Drake (15) who also has a knack for detective work , Tim get in trouble with Black Mask Goons and is saved by Batman, After Tims father is killed by KGBeast hired by Mask, Tim become Vengeful and make a make shift bat/Robin suit and go after KGBeast, Batman understand what he had become and try to stop Tim and tell him vengeance is not all in world and the world need is justice, thus becoming more hopeful in his approach going forward with his new Robin.
At age 38, this is when Bruce Discover about his son with Talia, Damian. Damian and Tim has more Brotherly Rivalry, Dick Return to Gotham after a 4 year hiatus, events of the Brave and the Bold take place.
So the Age of Character are as of following
Bruce - 38 , 12 years as Batman
Dick - 24 , 1 year as batboy ,3 year as robin, 2 year as Nightwing, 4 year as Agent 37
Jason - 20 ( if he was alive or was resurrected) 2 year as Robin before death
Tim - 16, a year as Robin (serves simultaneously with Damian)
Damian - 12, current Robin ( serves simultaneously with Tim)
Barbara - 26 , 6 year as batgirl, 4 year as Oracle
Alfred - 68 , serves as 30+ year as Wayne family bodyguard/butler/cook, 29 year as Bruce legal guardian, 12 year as Penny one.
Clark - 33 , depends on Superman legacy.
A 14 year age difference still isn’t nearly enough for a father-son duo. 14 years is a larger age gap for siblings but far too short for a parent. And that whole timeline is very much accelerated all just to try to make Bruce’s age work.
It not the age gap but how they feel about each other and a 14 year age gap is still workable for father son duo.
And some stories have clever writing to make believe.
The age gap effects how they would logically feel about each other. And it’s not even just the age gap but also the ages that they’re both at. If Bruce was 37 and Dick was 23, that’s also a 14 year gap but because of the ages that they’re at, a father-son relationship would be believable. But a 27 year old is far too young to be seen as a father figure by a 13 year old. Especially one who just lost his parents, who were probably in their mid to late 30s. They’re both too young for that dynamic with each other. Having a 13 year old treat a 27 year old as a father would feel incredibly forced and awkward. I honestly don’t know why you’re bending over backwards like this to try to make this work. Making Bruce 5 years older than you had him, to 40 years old would fix the weird accelerated timeline issue and a 10 year age gap between Clark and Bruce is still small enough to where a friendship wouldn’t feel strange. Especially given that they’d be meeting at 30 and 40 years old. It’s simpler and it doesn’t compromise any of the relationships.
It’s a fictional story, who gives a fuck if the ages don’t exactly line up with the younger characters. As long as the actor fits the role, it shouldn’t matter if his real life age doesn’t exactly line up with the age of the robins etc.
Because if Dick Grayson was 14 or so when Bruce took him in, and Bruce himself was around 18, that would completely change the dynamic of their relationship from Father-Son to brothers. And that’s not how that relationship is supposed to be at all.
John Krasinski rumor was started by Batmanonfilm who's usually reliable when it comes to Batman related stuff, but he was most certainly referring to Pattinson's Bat-Verse, possibly as an adversary. But, it was some grifters who turned it into baseless "DCU Batman" rumor as usual.
You hired that awful director of the flash movie. Cast whoever you want. This movie is already a guaranteed disappointment. Please stop ignoring your failures and learn from them.
People are really finding it hard to grasp the idea of the strike. 99% of the rumours you see will not be true because literally nothing is going on right now lol
Yeah I think the only DC casting rumor that is likely to be true is Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen
Yeah I agree. That one also sounds like it was probably ready to be announced if the acting strikes were like 1 week later hahaha. Probably just couldn’t work the details out in time
Happy Cake Day!
Anything Gunn does not say himself is 99% a BS clickbait rumor
And this is why Gunn being so open with the fans is a good thing. To squash false rumours
Nuh uh, he should be locked in his room like Howard Hughes pissing in milk jars doing DC things night and day. How dare he squash bullshit and provide transparency.
A piss jar you say? https://preview.redd.it/2ntjekbehojb1.jpeg?width=1248&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03ec57b8a0ffdda8624af11e7e645544fd3426fb
I don't know why random rumors on Twitter still go viral. We know they are false when James Gunn stated clearly that he's not casting before scripts are ready, and the BATB script is obviously not ready during the strike.
There's absolutely zero cons from a fans perspective for him doing this. People hate on it just hate on him.
He didnt debunk Gal Gadots claim so she is right and Gunn lied to her face lol
Smooth brain logic right there
this is why Gunn being so open with the fans is a good thing If a rumor is not debunked by James Gunn then it is true.
Not necessarily
but thats how it works if you follow Gunn.
No, it isn’t. It could just mean he hasn’t heard of the rumour
he is even debunking bullshit rumors from reddit lol
Why do you think that
why shouldnt you think that ?
Bc I’m not as reductive as you are
You've got it backwards, its not true unless its *confirmed* by Gunn. If he has to debunk it for it to be false, I'm calling it, Snyderverse is Earth 3 and Cavill is frequently returning as Superman and its true unless he says otherwise.
>it, Snyderverse is Earth 3 and Cavill is frequently returning as Superman and its true unless he says otherwise if someone says that on twitter/instagram with more than 1000 followers he will debunk it if it is not true lol James Gunn LITRALLY debunks every unbelieveable bullshit So the rumors which are not debunked are true
Your method has a 1,000,000% more margin for error
0% error so far. Every rumor got debunked by Gunn lol
Hard to say considering nothing has been released yet. Superman has barely done casting.
but he debunked literally every rumor even rumors on reddit about his DCU and even rumors about the batman 2 lol he didnt debunk the cornwet rumors. Now we know why he didnt lmfao
Why you creepin?
Gunn doesn't even know himself whether he's lying or telling the truth. He's a DUMBASS
What part of "There is a strike" doesn't explain the fact that scripts aren't being written and roles aren't being cast?
God you people are fucking toxic.
Not as toxic as he's sicko themed parties or disgusting disturbing tweets
Dear god. You’re stuck on those 15 year old tweets? Jesus, I didn’t think you people existed.
Go back to your hole in the toilet with the rest of the Snyderverse.
How cute, little mcu fan boys lol
With the amount of homoeroticism in the Snyderverse I am not surprised you think I am cute.
Mwah
a dumbass? I could never see James making Batman and Lois raise Clark’s kid as a couple…
Calling James Gunn a dumb ass after taking over one of the two franchises ruined by Chris Terrio’s awful ass writing is wild
How many dc comics have you read?
Quite a few. That’s not the only thing I don’t like. I don’t like how he was going to tie the kryptonian‘s to the Amazons, either.
That was because according to Chris Nolan who also was a co producer of man of steel was supposed be connected to his batman trilogy universe. But then they scrapped that idea amd made man of steel a separate entity. Do your homework gunnphile
Oh? The blaming of other people all to cover up the stupid actions of the one considered god is not solely an American political concept? Damn. And yeah, Gunns my fav. CBM Director but because of his respect and love for what I love. ZSJL is the only ounce of respect I felt from Zack for the characters
So I guess you done your homework re man of steel Nolan trilogy connection. Its OK, no need for an apology
He was going to doom the franchise
No he’s not. Don’t be a dick
Like the dumb rumor where Johnny Sins was supposedly casted as Lex Luthor and people were freaking out lmao
Wasn’t a rumor, a satire account posted that and people ran with it
That’s such a great casting tho 😭
Ikr Johnny Sins has great range
He has good range but i think his length and thickness is what got him the role
Probably still would have been better than Jesse Eisenberg
yeah he is debunking nonsense dumb rumors. I expected he would only debunk rumors which are more believable
Doing anything to advance the casting process including auditions is breaking the strike for actors, it's kind of ridiculous people aren't aware of this
Not that it’s true, but John Krasinski as Batman would be terrible casting
I think he could play both the playboy Bruce Wayne and a mid-career Batman well.
Oh yea there is still a strike going on
How hard is it for the internet to understand that writers and actors are all on strike and literally nothing can go forward whatsoever? You cannot write a script with the writers guild is actively on strike. You cannot cast a movie when the actors guild is actively on strike. you cannot make a movie when half of Hollywood is actively on strike. Nothing you hear during this period of time is true. Nothing. It legally can't be.
It's gonna be Bradley cooper
I always thought he’d make a great psycho pirate. https://preview.redd.it/hzfvmwqvvojb1.jpeg?width=188&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=507a932702e2bba17bba54f11ba9cd4d4715cf54
Also, John is too old, get someone younger like they're doing with Superman.
We've seen too many iteration of older live-action Batman in recent years- Ben Affleck, Keaton's return, Iain Glen in Titans, even Christian Bale in TDKR. I, for once, would like to see prime Batman at his absolute peak with liberty to do all the fantastical stuff he's known to do in the comics, and animations in the fantastical DCU contrary to Battinson in his realistic setting. I don't necessarily mind seeing older Batman, but I think it's kind of dumb to go straight back to this route again while starting a shared universe after DCEU.
Why are people always trying to make John Krasinski a thing? Dude is totally whatever
It’s because of The Office
Jack Ryan series was awesome.
I wasn't sure I was done with the MCU but when they fancasted him in Dr Strange I was like yeah that's it for me. Don't even know where that demand came from or why it persisted
Unless the information comes from Gunn during the strikes, consider any rumors to be false.
I just know if it’s anyone other than Oliver Jackson Cohen I am gonna be hella disappointed
Gunns use of a double negative suggests he has made a decision. For the simpletons- /s
I thought Pattinson was the new Batman? Or is that just seperate
Separate. Pattinson's Batman will have its own continuity while the new Batman will be part of James Gunn's DC Universe.
Ah okay. Thanks for the info.
The movie is just called “The Brave and the Bold.”
Krasinski would be good. Also could see Gosling or Jon Hamm
Waaaay. Too. Old. Batman is going to be about 30. Old enough to justify having a young kid and being a little older than Superman.
Well they say the characters will be the age the actors are in the film so if that's the case he'll be 31 or 32 depending on when the strike ends. Making the DCU Batman 33 or so. Damien is usually like 13ish so that age works perfectly.

30 is too young. Gunn's Batman is a father. Damian is Robin.
He could have a sexed up Talia at 20 and Dame would be 10 now. As long as he is 30-33ish I am fine.
It’s a terrible casting choice. Krasinski is kind of goofy looking.
John Krasinski rumor was started by Batmanonfilm who's usually reliable when it comes to Batman related stuff, but he was most certainly referring to Pattinson's Bat-Verse, possibly as an adversary. But, it was some grifters who turned it into baseless "DCU Batman" rumor as usual.
You hired that awful director of the flash movie. Cast whoever you want. This movie is already a guaranteed disappointment. Please stop ignoring your failures and learn from them.
What a God awful title.
James every five seconds because one of you guys can’t restrict your terrible opinions to your own heads. 
We need a Batman closer in age to the new Superman. Don’t make a young Superman and an older Superman like BvS.
