Batman & Justice League Plans Now Unclear?

In the wake of today’s semi-shock announcement that James Gunn and Peter Safran will be leaving DC Studios, further information has come to light about their exit and unannounced plans that may now be in question.

Wall Street Journal reporter Ben Fritz has offered more information about their exit on social media, alleging Gunn and Safran learned they were out in just the last few days and Skydance had been talking to their replacement Jeremy Latcham for “a while”.

He adds they “likely they wouldn’t have stayed with the new structure where DC Studios reports to Skydance film chiefs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein.”

He also claims Wonder Woman will indeed be introduced in Gunn’s “Man of Tomorrow,” and hoped to introduce Batman in “The Brave and the Bold” which would open in 2029 after the “Dynamic Duo” animated film. Then, the DC Universe was planning to do a “Justice League” film between 2029-2031.

As “Man of Tomorrow” has already been shot, and films like “The Batman: Part II” and “Dynamic Duo” is deep into production, those are likely minimally impacted by the news today. However, those “The Brave and the Bold” and “Justice League” plans look decidedly uncertain now.

A recent interview with Latcham on CBN News (via POC) has gone viral today as it potentially offers insight into Latcham’s approach to DC as he talks about what he brought to Marvel – namely keeping the films clean and inspiring enough that his grandmother could watch them and they could be talked about in his local church.
