As a fan who has spent countless hours following every twist and turn of the DC Universe, I must say that James Gunn‘s recent debunking of rumors surrounding The Batman Part II is as refreshing as a cool gotham night. It’s like being a detective, piecing together clues only to find out they’re just breadcrumbs leading nowhere.
Recently, James Gunn has found himself quite occupied. He’s just finished directing a new Superman film, which is set to unveil its first teaser this week. The initial installment of his latest DC Universe project, Creature Commandos, has been released. Additionally, the second season of Peacemaker is on the horizon. Yet, alongside his main duties, James Gunn also spends a significant amount of time refuting rumors, primarily concerning The Batman Part II.
As a die-hard Batman fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating any news about The Batman Part II, wondering who might join the cast and which villains we may see. There have even been whispers that the sequel might never materialize. However, in a recent Twitter post, James Gunn put those Clayface and Scarecrow appearance rumors to rest, confirming they won’t be part of the next movie. He emphasized that, at this point, no details about The Batman sequel can be confirmed, as the script is still under development. Here’s to hoping we get more updates soon!
Firstly, no. Secondly, couldn’t be the case as there hasn’t yet been a first draft of a script.
Gunn has cautioned before about people making too many assumptions regarding any movie that doesn’t have a script. Many of the rumors regarding upcoming DC movies regard their casting, and Gunn has been clear that casting doesn’t start before there is a finished script.
In the finale of “The Batman”, there was a hint at the potential return of the Joker for a future appearance, leading many to speculate his inclusion in the upcoming film. However, Barry Keoghan has shared no such news, which isn’t unusual given that there is currently no script written up. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the Joker might not make a significant impact until the third movie of the planned Batman trilogy. This means that if this plan holds true, the new film will need to introduce a villain or even multiple ones to fill the gap.
It’s plausible that some of these recent rumors may have originated from certain sources, given that Gunn himself has confirmed a DCU Clayface project is underway. Some speculators might be connecting the dots there. However, based on what Gunn mentioned, it seems like the Clayface idea would fit within the main DC Universe and not be related to Matt Reeves’ Batman. Instead, it could tie into the Batman character seen in The Brave and the Bold, which is the upcoming Batman film directed by Andy Muschietti.
As an eager fan, I’m thrilled to share that “The Batman Part II” has an official release date set for October 2026! Though it seems far away, there’s ample time to finalize the script and kick off production to meet that deadline. However, with filming scheduled for sometime next year, it’s clear that the script needs to be completed sooner rather than later.
