I Think I Know Why An Important Batman Character Is Missing From The DCU

The DCU"s Batman announcements have left one key Gotham hero out of the current Gods and Monsters slate, but that may be because he"s already leading his own team-up project. The DCU"s Gods and Monsters chapter is set to do its name justice by introducing several larger-than-life heroes like Superman, Supergirl, and the Green Lanterns, as well as powerful and terrifying creatures like Swamp Thing, Clayface, and the Creature Commandos. Nevertheless, the DCU"s first chapter also has room for less extravagant characters, particularly those who roam the streets of Gotham.
As Matt Reeves" The Batman franchise continues to grow with the upcoming The Batman - Part II and spinoffs like The Penguin, the DCU will soon introduce its own version of Batman and Gotham City. While The Batman focuses on the Dark Knight"s realistic elements, the DCU"s Batman may place the spotlight on the Caped Crusader"s more fantastical stories and characters. After all, Doctor Phosphorus and Clayface are two of the monstruous Batman enemies who already play important roles in the DCU"s first chapter. Batman"s often overlooked sidekicks are also confirmed to be making their DCU debut soon.
The DCU Already Confirmed Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Damian Wayne, But Not Tim Drake The DCU's First, Second, And Third Robins Will Be Introduced In Gods And Monsters Close James Gunn"s first announcement for the DCU"s "Gods and Monsters" slate included Andy Muschietti"s The Brave and the Bold, where Batman and his son Damian Wayne will co-star. Several months later, DC Studios announced the animated miniseries Dynamic Duo, which will center around Dick Grayson and Jason Todd"s origins. Therefore, the DCU already has its first, second, and possibly third Robin, but Batman"s third Robin is still missing. Tim Drake hasn"t been confirmed to appear in any of the DCU"s upcoming projects.
