James Gunn Denies 'Batman: Part II' Is Being Shot Back-to-Back

In recent days, rumors suggested that production on The Batman: Part II might actually be bigger than it seems, taking place alongside filming for the third installment, which would complete director Matt Reeves' long-dreamed-of Gotham crime trilogy. However, fans may not want to get too excited about that possibility, according to James Gunn.

A Threads user asked the head of DC Studios whether he could confirm simultaneous production on both installments, and Gunn replied simply: "I can deny it." Check out the post below:

Everything you need to know about The Batman: Part II 

While the DCU will have its own Batman through the film The Brave and the Bold, which will adapt Bruce Wayne stories featuring Damian Wayne, his son, as Robin, Matt Reeves continues developing his standalone Dark Knight saga, which is part of what James Gunn, CEO of DC Studios, has called the Elseworlds label. This label is given to stories that are not part of the universe launched by the new Superman movie.

The first Batman film starring Robert Pattinson hit theaters in 2022 and grossed nearly $772 million.

Dubbed the Batman Crime Saga, this story places Robert Pattinson in the role of a young Bruce Wayne, in his early years as the Dark Knight. Zoë Kravitz is Catwoman, Colin Farrell is the Penguin, Paul Dano played the villain Riddler, and John Turturro is Carmine Falcone. Jeffrey Wright was the new Commissioner Gordon, and Andy Serkis played Alfred.
