The still fairly recent hiring of James Gunn and Peter Safran to head up Warner Bros.’ DC Films arm has sent some ripples through the already turbulent air of DC movies. Wonder Woman’s third movie was put on ice ahead of Gunn and Safran’s pitch to WB for their overall plan, sequels for Superman and Black Adam may have gotten backburnered, and so on. Things are currently so uncertain that even movies you’d expect to be a sure thing are no longer going forward at the moment, like a Batman Beyond movie.
Yep, that was something in the works. Per the Hollywood Reporter’s recent Heat Vision news letter, a movie for the futuristic iteration of the Caped Crusader isn’t going forward at the moment. Booooooooooo. A script was in the works from Batgirl and The Flash writer Christina Hodson, one said to have excited executives, but Hodson has now reportedly been told to stop working on it. According to sources speaking to the Reporter, Michael Keaton would’ve come back as an older Bruce, and the hope was to also include a romance with Catwoman, maybe even going so far as to bring back Michelle Pfeiffer’s version of the character from Batman Returns.
