DC Studios co-chief James Gunn gave an update today on where Batman and The Flash stand in the DC Universe, and if you\u2019re waiting on either one, don\u2019t expect a return anytime soon. Batman doesn\u2019t even have<\/strong> a new suit designed yet, and there still isn\u2019t an announced Flash project.<\/p>\n

Gunn said Batman\u2019s new suit<\/strong> still hasn\u2019t been designed. The Brave and the Bold remains in development, Andy Muschietti is still attached, and the script is still being written. The movie has changed since the Batman-and-Damian Wayne setup first discussed in 2023, but Gunn says it isn\u2019t on hold. It\u2019s also separate from Robert Pattinson\u2019s Elseworlds Batman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

If you were hoping Wally West might show<\/strong> up soon, The Flash situation is even foggier. Gunn\u2019s answer was, \u201cWho knows?\u201d There\u2019s no announced Flash project, and after 2023\u2019s The Flash underperformed, DC seems fine waiting.<\/p>\n\n

For people keeping close track of the DCU, this says a lot about how firmly Gunn is sticking to a script-first approach. He also cleared up where Xolo Maridue\u00f1a fits in: according to Gunn, he\u2019ll return as Jaime Reyes in Man of Tomorrow<\/strong>, the sequel to 2025\u2019s Superman. That still doesn\u2019t make 2023\u2019s Blue Beetle canon, and Black Adam isn\u2019t canon either.<\/p>\n\n

The next official details will probably come in future DC Studios slate updates. For now, Gunn says he isn\u2019t directing a live-action Teen Titans<\/strong> project, and no DC directing job beyond Man of Tomorrow has been announced.<\/p>\n
