The next live-action Superman movie’s cast is steadily being filled out ahead of the start of principal photography in March, but one face you won’t see in the film is that of the Caped Crusader, Batman. On Threads, Superman Legacy director James Gunn was asked if Batman would make an appearance in the film, to which Gunn replied that he simply hadn’t been written into the story.
“Well he can’t appear in Superman: Legacy because he’s not in the script,” Gunn posted.

The last couple of years have seen Superman and Batman cross paths several times, as the two had their infamous clash in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, teamed up in Justice League, and got a redo in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
