PEACEMAKER Actor/Stunt Double Reveals That Batman AND Cyborg Were Going To Cameo In The Finale - PHOTO

One of the actors and stunt doubles who worked on Peacemaker has shared a behind-the-scenes photo confirming that they were set to serve as a stand-in for Ben Affleck's Batman in the recent season finale.

During a recent interview, Peacemaker writer and director James Gunn was asked if he considered including Batman and Cyborg alongside Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash as part the season finale's huge cameo. He responded by saying, "There are reasons for it, but I’m actually uncertain whether I can say what those reasons are. It might have to do with future stuff."

While Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller reprised their roles as Arthur Curry and Barry Allen, respectively, Superman and Wonder Woman were left in the shadows. This was obviously because Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot were unavailable, unwilling to appear, or simply not needed. But why weren't Batman and Cyborg in the scene when they're part of the DCEU's Justice League? 

Warner Bros. moving on from Cyborg after everything that's happened with Ray Fisher isn't a surprise, but Ben Affleck is going to return as Batman in The Flash later this year. As a result, it's not as if him being among the heroes hidden in the shadows would undermine The Batman and Robert Pattinson!

Well, we now know that Gunn did originally shoot the entire League because actor/stunt double Matt Turner has revealed that he was going to suit up as the Dark Knight in place of Affleck. "After that epic [Peacemaker] finale I can finally post this. Sadly I (& Cyborg) were cut from the final edit. Why? Only [James Gunn] & [Warner Bros.] know that."

"While it's disappointing to be scrubbed out, this was still a blast, and a dream come true to wear the suit," Turner said. "Big thanks to everyone involved!" Gunn tends to be pretty vocal about stuff like this on social media (he recently debunked claims that Bane will be Peacemaker season 2's big bad), so we'll let you know if he responds to this reveal.

Why do you think Batman and Cyborg ended up on the cutting room floor?

Just glad we got that exchange between Flash and Aquaman. The scene was funny.

Really dumb that they cut that out. They're just shadows, may as well include them.

@Nightwing1015 - considering how people have been overanalyzing the appearances of WW and Supes I can see why they omitted them.

We for sure already have a completely different Batman coming out and Ray Fisher isn’t on the best of terms with WB. Seems like less of a headache to go through all this.

This is the Superman body double and honestly he looks like the best live action Supes ever.

@Cbmfilmjunkie -
Dude is definitely one of the most Superman looking people I've ever seen in the costume

@SimplyAz - God I hate what they did to the suit after BvS for JL.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 12:17 PM
@UniqNo -

Still think the MOS version had the best balance between suit and padding.

JL it definitely looked the worst

@SimplyAz - damn he looks like Superman more than any other person ever has
Conquistador
Conquistador - 2/20/2022, 12:19 PM
@SimplyAz - I liked the improvements and colour balance made in BVS. I only think the 'belt emblem' should have remained the same as in MoS.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 12:21 PM
@BlackBeltJones -

Yeah man, definitely
Cbmfilmjunkie
Cbmfilmjunkie - 2/20/2022, 12:21 PM
@SimplyAz - He looks like he could pull off a good Clark too which is key. Hes a combination of Tom Welling/Cavill/Matt Bomer which is crazy
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 12:22 PM
@UniqNo -

That's cool Dude. BVS looked a bit too shiny for me.

Let's see what the future holds for the costume
Conquistador
Conquistador - 2/20/2022, 12:25 PM
@SimplyAz - Oh for sure it was more shiny under normal light, but I think the way it was shot for the majority of the film made it more seamless, IMO any way.

Yeah, I hope we get something more regal.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 12:28 PM
@Cbmfilmjunkie -

Definitely has that vibe going on

Odin

@SimplyAz - @Cbmfilmjunkie - Good god. that guy's face looks like it was morphed together from Christopher Reeve and Tom Welling. And with that body it's like the character jumped from comic pages right into this reality.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 1:18 PM
@dracula -

Definitely man
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 1:19 PM
@Odin -

Very much that classical look for sure
Ha1frican
Ha1frican - 2/20/2022, 1:40 PM
@SimplyAz - I think the issue is that he got even beefier and they kept a similar amount of padding but it made it look too much. They also made it shinier which defined the muscles more which made everything stick out whereas here there’s a thicker layer that makes it stand out less
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 2:00 PM
@Ha1frican -

You're definitely right as they didn't incorporate changes, you could see it peaking through in the day time BVS scenes, like the court ones.

Darth258 - 2/20/2022, 2:21 PM
@SimplyAz - Damn. He looks like an amalgam of Cavill and Routh.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 2:39 PM
@Darth258 -

For sure

WruceBayne - 2/20/2022, 2:46 PM
@SimplyAz - that dude is right out of the comic books. Why not go with him? Hollywood machine?
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 2:49 PM
@WruceBayne -

Definitely, Kind of makes the case for going for an unknown Superman actor
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 2/20/2022, 2:50 PM
@Cbmfilmjunkie - He is a body double, not an actor.
His job is to look like someone else.
bcom
bcom - 2/20/2022, 3:11 PM
@SimplyAz - Agreed. This suit looks the most natural out of all the Superman suits. All they had to do in future installments was to lighten the colours. It didn't need the unnatural looking fake definition that the JL suit had.
Cbmfilmjunkie
Cbmfilmjunkie - 2/20/2022, 5:08 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - actually, if you go to his page you can clearly see that he’s an actor. Body doubles and actors are not exclusive to each other and are more often than not one in the same.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/20/2022, 7:04 PM
@bcom -

Yeah that's always what I thought they should have done as well, eventually end up at a lighter blue, but keep they material the same thickness.

We all know he's moved on to Hamada.

This dude is a proven liar. He’s been exposed before. Not saying this isn’t true but still.

@BlackBeltJones - What’d he lie about?
