James Gunn reassures fans that Matt Reeves’ The Batman has a role in the future of DC, but what kind of role? What does “really important” mean in this context? Does it mean Reeves’ projects haven’t been backburnered while the Gunn-verse takes center stage? HBOThis may just be wishful thinking, but what if The Batman is so important to Gunn and his current work because the two universes are tied together in some way? “Of course, everything’s going to be balanced so The Brave and the Bold is not going to be coming out in the same six-month period as The Batman,” Gunn said.
