James Gunn has a habit of tweaking titles. Superman: Legacy became simply Superman, and Supergirl dropped its Woman of Tomorrow subtitle. Now the DC Studios movie starring two of Batman’s deadliest foes has reportedly been renamed, and the new title packs a punch.
Savage Hunters: Overview
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Reported title | Savage Hunters (working title) |
| Villains | Bane and Deathstroke |
| Writer | Matthew Orton |
| First reported | 2024 |
| Possible setting | Salvation, the prison world from Peacemaker Season 2 |
| Release date | Not announced |
Why the Title Works?
Savage Hunters makes Bane and Deathstroke the predators rather than the prey. That’s a smart framing for a pair of villains who rarely run from anything. The pairing felt odd when it was first reported, since the two don’t share much comic history. But Gunn’s DCU loves complicated characters, and a story built around them could change how audiences see these villains.
A Trip to Salvation?
The title also fits a possible setting: Salvation, the prison world introduced in Peacemaker Season 2. Rick Flag Sr. sent Christopher Smith there as revenge, and the DCU has plenty of villains far worse than Peacemaker. Sending Bane and Deathstroke to hunt among Salvation’s inhabitants is an enticing idea, though nothing is confirmed. Eventually, both would need to make a trip to Gotham and cross paths with Batman.
Batman Villains Expected in the DCU
The Dark Knight’s rogues gallery is getting crowded. Here’s who’s reportedly in the mix:
- Poison Ivy: a series from The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc is in development.
- Joker: no DCU role has been teased, and Matt Reeves may get the first live-action crack.
- Harley Quinn: she could play second fiddle in the Poison Ivy series, a draw that might lure Margot Robbie back.
- Ra’s al Ghul and Talia al Ghul: likely linked to The Brave and the Bold, where Damian Wayne is expected to debut.
- Mr. Freeze: he made a memorable appearance in Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.
- Killer Croc: a redemption opportunity after his small role in 2016’s Suicide Squad.
What to Expect Next?
With so many Batman-adjacent projects in development, Gunn is clearly building a vast Gotham-centered corner of the DCU. Official confirmation of the title, cast and release date will likely follow in time.
