As a seasoned gamer and DC Universe enthusiast with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia upon hearing James Gunn‘s confirmation that “World’s Finest” could be the title for the upcoming Batman and Superman team-up movie. The term has been synonymous with these iconic superheroes since the early days of comic books, and it’s only fitting that they reclaim that moniker on the silver screen.
James Gunn, head at DC Studios, has affirmed that a joint venture movie featuring Batman and Superman in the upcoming DC Universe could (and perhaps should) bear the renowned title “World’s Finest.” In an Instagram post for Labor Day, Gunn shared a photo of Batman, Superman, and Robin playing baseball; the caption of the image read “Let’s have the World’s Finest Labor Day!” This suggests that the film is planned to be titled “World’s Finest” and that it will bring together these iconic characters in a fun and engaging way.
Typically, one of Gunn’s casual posts sparked a conversation about the potential direction for the DCU franchise. One participant (Benjasp_5), in a move that stirred things up, posed an intriguing question: “Hey Mr. Gunn, if a film featuring only Superman and Batman together were to be made, what do you think it should be called? Would it be ‘Superman and Batman’ or ‘Batman and Superman’?”
Gunn caught that grenade and quickly stuck a pin in it, by avoiding any kind of ranking or ordering between the two superhero names. In other words, the DCU Batman and Superman team-up film would be called “World’s Finest.“
What Is DC’s World’s Finest?
The phrase “World’s Finest” came to signify Batman and Superman when DC Comics initially published a comic book featuring these two superheroes under that title in 1941. Initially called “World’s Best Comics,” the series officially changed its name to “World’s Finest Comics” starting from issue #2, as it primarily focused on joint adventures of Batman and Superman. Early issues often included appearances of Robin, Batman’s sidekick, along with other DC characters. By the 1950s, the series evolved into a regular comic book featuring Batman and Superman exclusively, which is the format most DC fans recognize today.
Will There Be A DCU World’s Finest Movie?
A fan of the DC Universe inquired about James Gunn’s comments regarding the World’s Finest title, wanting to know if it was officially part of the DCU schedule. However, Gunn did not provide a response to that post. Nonetheless, it appears likely that the DCU will eventually produce this film. The criticism often leveled at Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is that its initial live-action pairing of Batman and Superman was excessively dark and violent. Many fans believe that the DCU should rectify this by creating a World’s Finest movie, which would reunite Batman, Superman (and possibly Robin), in a more traditional manner.
If Gunn excels with his Superman (2025) reboot and The Brave and the Bold Batman reboot lives up to expectations, then World’s Finest could become one of the most significant cinematic occurrences.
Superman (2025) has a release date of July 12, 2025.
