DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has shared a surprising update about The Batman Part II, amid false rumors that it has been canceled. Last March, it was announced that the sequel to Matt Reeves’s acclaimed 2022 DC superhero noir, starring Robert Pattinson, had been delayed by a full year, with it now expected to arrive in theaters on October 2, 2026.

James Gunn says his biggest challenge with the DC Universe right now is figuring out how to get Batman into it.

James Gunn explained that Matt Reeves has not completed 'The Batman 2' script despite the film being announced in 2022.
