George Clooney recently graced the screen once again as Batman in The Flash, but don’t get your hopes up for a full-time return. In fact, he’s made it pretty clear that he’s not interested in donning the cape and cowl again, unless someone finds a treasure chest filled with nose candy. Yep, you heard that right. George Clooney himself has declared that “there aren’t enough drugs in the world” for him to play Batman again. So, it looks like we’ll have to make peace with the fact that his stint as the Caped Crusader was a one-time thing.
But fear not, dear fans! The Flash has taught Warner Bros. an important lesson – simply relying on the star power of familiar faces isn’t enough to sell a product. So, we can hope that whoever takes up the mantle of Batman in the future will do the character justice and give us a performance that truly soars to new heights!
As for the future of the DC Universe, James Gunn and Peter Safran have big plans in store. They’ve revealed that their vision for the DC Universe includes locked scripts, wiggle room, and a unified storyline across film, television, animation, and video game projects. And get this – they’re not planning a full reboot! Instead, they’re looking to incorporate elements from previous DC regimes into their eight-to-year plan. So, we can expect to see some familiar faces and storylines make a comeback.
With the release of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle, and the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, it’s clear that the new DC Universe is in full swing. Will characters from these movies make appearances in the new DCU? Only Gunn and Safran hold the keys to that secret kingdom.
So, buckle up, folks, because the future of the DC Universe is looking pretty exciting. And who knows, maybe one day George Clooney will have a change of heart and surprise us all with another round as Batman.
