After hearing about the Russo Brothers’ interest in directing a Batman movie, fans of the DC Cinematic Universe were ecstatic. However, the Russo brothers have made it clear that they are not currently working on a Batman film.
For those who were hoping the Russo Brothers would direct a Batman film, this is certainly disappointing news.
When Will Fans See the Russo Brothers in DCU?
The Russo Brothers’ contributions to the MCU as directors, including multiple Avengers films, have earned them widespread recognition. They have received a lot of praise for their originality of thought and storytelling skills. After the Russo Brothers’ success in the Marvel Universe, many people were eager to see what they could do in the DC Universe.

The Russo Brothers expressed interest in taking over the helm of James Gunn and DC Studios’ next Batman film during an interview with Comicbook.com’s Chris Killian. The news sent fans into a tizzy as they anticipated the Russo Brothers’ take on one of comics’ most recognizable figures.
The Russo Brothers have since explained that they were taken aback by the question and are not currently working on any DC projects, including a Batman film. They were tired and just throwing around ideas for DC characters they might like to direct, the directors said in an interview.
“We are not directing a Batman movie. Usually, we come up with a very entertaining, fringe character. But, you caught us in a moment where we were so tired that we couldn’t think of any funny fringe DC character.”
The positive response to their comments was unexpected, but the Russo Brothers are appreciative of the attention they have received.
The Russo’s Still Love the DC
The Russo Brothers have spoken highly of James Gunn and the work he did on the Suicide Squad reboot for DC Studios even though they have no current plans to direct a Batman film themselves, Gunn’s ability to breathe new life into the DC Universe was praised by the filmmakers.
The Russo brothers have spoken about their appreciation for several DC characters, including Batman, a childhood favorite of both of them. They pointed out that the character of Batman has been explored in many different forms over the years.
The Russo Brothers are, however, interested in exploring the possibility of working on DC’s lesser-known characters in the future. The Russo Brothers aren’t currently developing a Batman film, but their love of the DCEU and respect for James Gunn are encouraging signs for the future of the franchise.
Fans can anticipate exciting new projects from the studio in the coming years, as it is clear that the DC Universe has the potential to attract top talent in the entertainment industry. The DC Universe has proven it can compete with Marvel in terms of box office success and critical acclaim with films like Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
With upcoming movies like Superman Legacy and an untitled Black Superman movie, there’s still hope for the Russo Brothers to get involved in future DC movies.
