How many big names have actually been “canceled” long term? The only one I can think of that seems to have stuck so far is James Franco. Even Kevin Spacey has been slowly making a comeback. Hollywood only cares about this stuff if they see it as a threat to their bottomline. Hell, Paul Walker had a 16 year old girlfriend, and they’re supposedly going to bring him back as a deepfake.

I’m aware. That’s why I said that I’m wondering if they plan to phase out the Batverse in favor of the DCU Batman. I obviously have nothing to truly base this on, hence why I said that I’m only speculating. I just find it interesting that they’d have Matt Reeves develop Batman related projects for both the DCU and the Batverse.

Between this and Gunn saying that he hasn’t been given a script for The Batman 2 yet, this makes me wonder if the plan is to phase out the Batverse. Assuming that is the case, I suppose it would at least solve the problem of having multiple Batmen at the same time, but what would that mean for Robert Pattinson? Will they simply have him be the DCU Batman?

It doesn’t help that much of Gunn’s debunking tends to come across like the kind of vague jargon that you would expect a lawyer to use. For example, he previously claimed that they didn’t “boot” Gal Gadot. You could argue that he technically wasn’t lying, because Gal Gadot was “never hired” for the DCU, but it still comes off as a misleading statement that created a lot of unnecessary confusion at the time.

2024 Box Office Predictions and Discussion

Are people gonna see DP3 as a disappointment if it doesn’t hit a billion? -
In fairness, there is that Themiscyra prequel show. Still, introducing a new Wonder Woman and Aquaman is going to feel a bit awkward no matter what, since those two don’t really have a history of being played by multiple different actors like Batman and Superman. The Flash would be easier to get away with, since Ezra Miller never really left much of an impression on the general public. Plus, they could use Wally West if they really want to set themselves apart.

Gunn also previously insisted that Ben Affleck wanted to direct something for the DCU, and then when Affleck made it clear that he wasn’t interested, Gunn never said a word about him again, even though people all over social media were calling him a liar. Given how quick Gunn is to shut down random no name accounts that accuse him of lying, that’s definitely notable. Sure, you could claim that perhaps Affleck was interested, only to change his mind, but it’s worth remembering that he had stated last year that he had become disillusioned with the studio system, and that moving forward, he would only direct movies from his own production company. Those don’t sound like the words of someone who was interested in being part of James Gunn’s DCU.

This looks pretty schlocky, but if the trailer is misleading, then I’ll be interested to see how the actual movie plays out. All I know is that the idea of California and Texas working together is hilariously absurd.
