Taking charge ofThe Batman 2,director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson had announced that a sequel was underway. In a rather disappointing update, Gunn revealed that a script forThe Batman 2hasn’t been made yet!

Although some people took it as a good sign that the creators were taking their sweet time, several fans, on the other hand, couldn’t wait to see Pattinson’s Batman in action once again.

With some public pressure on the rise, while others waiting patiently for the film, the division could cost the DCU since James Gunn is the one updating the news. Having releasedThe Flashunder his reign, Gunn is regretting some statements that he had said in hopes of promoting the $200 million movie.

Before the release ofThe Flash,James Gunn had revealed thatThe Flashwas one of the greatest superhero movies that he had ever seen. With cameos from Nicolas Cage and George Clooney among several others, Gunn revealed in aThreadsdiscussion that he hates unnecessary cameos!
“I call that ‘Cameo P*rn’ and it has been one of the worst elements of recent superhero films,–If a character is in film, they have to have a reason to be there story-wise. “I don’t mind actual cameos – if it’s a glimpse or a moment, an Easter egg.”
He further continued,
“What bothers me is when they mangle an elegant story by shoehorning characters in – they aren’t there because the story calls for it, but for some other reason”
WithThe Batman 2previously slated for a release date of 3rd October 2025, it seems that the newest update might bring a significant amount of delay to the release date. Although Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson will indeed be doing their level best to keep up with fan’s expectations, some things aren’t meant to happen. As for the 2022 movie,The Batmanis currently available to stream on Max in the U.S.
