James Gunn Denies Rumor George Clooney Will Reprise Batman Role

The web had great old George Clooney trending in the middle of speculation he had actually return as the Caped Crusader in James Gunn‘s DC Universe … however the mastermind himself states it’s BS.

The director and now-co-chief of all things DC shot down a rumor that began to get steam these previous couple days … specifically, the idea that George might perhaps return and reprise his role as Batman in the brand-new ‘Batman’ motion picture that was just recently revealed.

On Saturday, Gunn reacted to a fan who flat out asked him if it held true he was going to cast GC in the ‘Brave and the Bold’ flick … which includes a much older Batman (and his boy, Robin).

When somebody pushed for additional information — asking if there was any fact to the concept he was going to cast a star who had actually formerly played Batman, duration — Gunn once again flatly rejected that … stating they were entering a totally brand-new instructions with an absolutely brand-new star.

The factor this started percolating at all is since a movie journo declared to have the within scoop on DC’s hopes when it concerned who they desired under the cowl in their most current reboot of the franchise … recommending it was either Clooney, Val Kilmer or Christian Bale, which this individual might even cameo in the brand-new ‘Flash’ flick that’s coming out this year.

She stated she understood who the studio desired — keeping in mind an offer wasn’t in location yet — however declined to determine the supposed preferred in mind … and Twitter dealt with the rest, making all 3 pattern.

Considering prepare for this brand-new Bat-motion picture were actually simply revealed about a week back, it’s safe to state … nobody is cast till they’re cast — so it’s most likely best to simply wait till this in fact enters into production prior to diving head-first into opinion.
