IsAndy Muschietti still directing that?
Could it have Pattinson in it?
There are lots and lots of Bat-questions and hopefully, here are some Bat-answers.
He hasnt yet turned in a script but what weve read so far is very encouraging.
Well have more on that for you very soon.
But what about Pattinson?
Is he going to move out of the Reeves universe into the DC Universe?
Its certainly not the plan, Gunn said.
And we love him, Safran added.
But we got to introduce a Batman into the DCU.
And so thats the plan withBrave and the Bold.
Gunn added that he is personally very, very actively involved in the writing of that movie.
One thing that is definitely a fit isClayface.
It was important that Clayface be part of the DCU.
Hes very much outside of the sort of grounded, non-super meta-human characters in Matts world, Gunn added.
So there we have it.
Matt ReevesThe Batman Part IIwill be out October 2027.
At this rate though, it seems likely it wont be out until 2028 at the earliest.
