DC’s new strategy is being revealed a bit more. James Gunn took advantage of Instagram’s launch of the Threads social network (a competitor to Twitter). Answer some fan questions on the future of the superhero franchise.
We know that the director, who became the studio’s CEO with Peter Safran, wanted to clean up the past to start a brand new chapter called Gods and Monsters.
This includes Matt Reeves’ Batman with Robert Pattinson, which hit our screens two years ago. A film that takes place in an alternate universe and that is not directly related to other DC productions.
But the director has commissioned DC to work on two spin-offs for his Max platform: the first centered on Penguin with Colin Farrell, and the second on Arkham.
If we didn’t have news about the latter, James Gunn gave us some valuable information about the project this weekend: we learned that Arkham will be canon in the DC Cinematic Universe, and that it won’t take place in the same universe as Batman.
Therefore, we will not risk the appearance of Pattinson in the corridors of the insane asylum, which especially welcomed the Joker.
Therefore, Arkham will be connected to another Batman movie, which is currently called The Brave and Bold. Italian Andy Muschietti (The Flash) was chosen as its director. A feature film expected in 2026 will focus on Bruce Wayne’s offspring, Damian, who grew up to be an assassin before taking on the role of Robin.
