Does Batman Already Exist in the DCU?

James Gunn has confirmed that Batman is already an established character in the DC Universe (DCU), and his role is crucial to the larger story. Gunn explained that introducing Batman through his ability to take on dangerous villains, like the formidable Phosphorus, is a key way to highlight his presence and importance in this world.

“It’s a great way to show that Batman is part of this universe. He’s already here,” Gunn shared. “This is a way to emphasize that Batman plays an important role in this universe, making an impact by taking down dangerous and intimidating adversaries like Phosphorus, who’s pretty tough.”

By showcasing Batman’s ability to handle such powerful foes, the DCU sets the stage for a version of the character who isn’t just a vigilante but a central figure in the fight against some of the universe’s most menacing threats. This approach not only underscores Batman’s capabilities but also weaves him seamlessly into the broader narrative, reinforcing his significance in the DCU’s evolving storyline.
