10 Things That Will Never Happen In The DC Cinematic Universe

10. Robot Batman

Back in late-2015 and into 2016, strange things were afoot in the world of DC Comics.

Superman had lost his secret identity and cape, Wonder Woman strapped a couple of huge knives to her bracelets for some reason, and Bruce Wayne was dead but Batman wasn't. That's because The Dark Knight's legacy was being kept alive by Commissioner Gordon wearing a huge robotic suit of armour.

With more than a hint of RoboCop to the story that involves Gordon becoming a privatised crimefighter with a mech-suit donated by a local tech company, it's one of the stranger twists to appear in a Batman comic. Unsurprisingly it didn't last, although it was admittedly fun for a spell.

That's the sort of thing you can't really do in a film. In comics, a few months of robot Batman is nothing compared to the hundreds of issues the regular Caped Crusader has starred and will star in. Putting together a multi-million dollar blockbuster is a little more effort, and not on a monthly schedule. Shame, because Gordon's Batman suit was really cool.
