Is there a chance that Superman and Batman have already met in the DCU? DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn isn’t ruling it out.
Gunn sat down with Jake’s Takes to discuss Superman, but, inevitably, topics arose about the future of the DCU. The host asks, “What I love about this movie is often times seeing Superman’s reaction to things because he is so human that even though he is Superman he has a very human reaction to things. What do you think his reaction is going to be the first time he sees a man dressed up as a bat?” To which Gunn replied, “Well, first of all, we don’t know he hasn’t already seen a man dressed up as a bat. But I think that he’d probably see a kindred spirit in that another crazy person wearing a crazy costume with a very different intent.”
Creature Commandos, which is in the new DCU continuity, made it very clear that Superman is already active, so it seems logical they may have already encountered one another.
The cast of Superman is set to include David Corenswet as Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. They will all be joined by Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, María Gabriela de Faría as the Engineer , Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher MacDonald as Ron Troupe, and Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard.
Superman will hit theaters in wide release on July 11, 2025.
