James Gunn Confirms Upcoming Batman Cast Will Be Mid‑30s, Like Superman
James Gunn, the head of DC Studios, confirmed that the next Batman in the DC Universe will be cast soon and will be roughly the same age as Superman. Gunn said the role is not yet filled and that he is looking for the best actor for the part, noting that Superman has always been chosen based on the actor’s suitability rather than star power. When asked about the actor’s age, Gunn replied that Batman and Superman will be contemporaries, with the latter being 33 years old. The new Batman is expected to be in his mid‑30s. The announcement comes after DC Studios’ 2022 slate, which includes “Superman,” “Supergirl,” “Lanterns,” and “Clayface,” and the upcoming “Man of Tomorrow” set for July 9. The information was shared by Gunn in a video for “The Suicide Squad: Is It Canon? The Official Podcast.”
