The DCU’s plans for Superman: Legacy and The Brave and The Bold mean that one great DC legacy crossover cannot happen in this new universe.
A great Superman/Batman legacy crossover is already impossible in the new DC Universe. DC Studios' Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters is set to tell one large story across film, TV, and gaming in the DCU, and will also reboot Batman and Superman.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY For example, The Brave and the Bold will see the live-action debut of Damian Wayne, Batman’s son who becomes Robin. Not only will The Brave and the Bold be Damian’s big screen debut, but it will also be the first live-action film to feature a Robin since 1997’s Batman & Robin. Superman: Legacy, on the other hand, will focus on an early-career Superman without telling an origin story.
Given how well the Super Sons idea worked in DC Comics since the duo first teamed up during the Rebirth era, it would’ve made sense for DC to explore the interactions between Damian Wayne and Jonathan Kent on the big screen. Similar to how Damian Wayne has never appeared in live-action, Superman having a family and a son who becomes a superhero has never been done in the movies.
How Batman Being Older Than Superman Affects Their Potential DCU Stories According to James Gunn, Batman might be a couple of years older than Superman in the DC Universe. While how Superman and Batman’s ages compare in the new DC Universe is still difficult to say, the fact that Damian Wayne is already Robin sets up a very experienced Dark Knight.
Batman being older than Superman in the DC Universe can help set up the Dark Knight’s role in a future DCU Justice League movie, as what truly allows Batman to fight alongside “Gods and Monsters” is his experience and preparation. A DC Universe in which Batman appeared before Superman also introduces an interesting dynamic regarding how the world perceives vigilantes and superheroes, as Batman tends to leave a very different first impression compared to Superman.
