DCU Batman Won’t Be a ‘Funny, Campy’ Version Says James Gunn, Calls Him ‘Biggest DCU Issue’

James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, has confirmed that the new Batman for his DC Universe (DCU) will be a serious character, not a funny or campy version.

Responding to a fan's question on social media, Gunn dispelled the "common misconception" that he would apply his signature comedic style (seen in Guardians of the Galaxy) to every character. He stated definitively, "Batman is a very serious character," putting to rest any speculation that the new Caped Crusader would be lighthearted.

Key details from the article include:

• This new Batman will debut in the upcoming DCU film The Brave and the Bold, which will be directed by Andy Muschietti (The Flash).
• The film will introduce Batman's son, Damian Wayne, as Robin.
• This version is separate from Robert Pattinson's Batman, which exists in its own "Elseworlds" continuity under director Matt Reeves.
• Gunn's comment signals that the tone of DCU projects will be tailored to the specific character, rather than following a single comedic formula.
