James Gunn, one of DC Studios’ co-heads, addresses Robin rumors in relation to “The Batman Part II.” On social media, Gunn responded to a post from dcuprimetv, clarifying that recent reports about “The Batman Part II” are unfounded. In his comment, Gunn pointed out that only a select few have read the script for the eagerly awaited sequel, suggesting that those in the industry spreading information might not have accurate details about the movie.
Friends, let’s not fall for rumors,” Gunn stated. “As far as I know, only six of us have gone through the script for ‘The Batman 2‘. Nobody seems to have any solid information about it yet.”

Gunn: Friends, let’s not fall for rumors. As far as I know, only six of us have gone through the script for ‘The Batman 2’. Nobody seems to have any solid information about it yet.
User: So there’s no truth to these leaks then?
Gunn: Not that I’m aware of. But remember, things can change quickly in this industry.
After a long wait, it’s clear that “The Batman Part II” is finally progressing with significant strides. The chatter is growing louder, and whispers suggest that Matt Reeves’ sequel might introduce Robin, a long-time partner of Batman, marking his first live-action appearance since the 1997 film “Batman & Robin.” While Robin John Blake, portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in “The Dark Knight Rises,” donned a costume resembling Robin, he never officially took on the Boy Wonder persona. Regarding rumors about Hush being the villain in “The Batman 2,” James Gunn has clarified that these are indeed false.
Reeves and his fellow scriptwriter Mattson Tomlin completed the “Batman Sequel 2” script in June. Pre-production is now underway for the movie, with casting sessions scheduled this fall. David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, has confirmed that the production of “Batman Sequel 2” will commence in the spring, ensuring it stays on schedule for its October 2027 release date.
It’s intriguing to consider Robin appearing in “The Batman Part II,” especially since Reeves’ Batman projects are part of DC Studios’ Elseworlds label and exist outside the main DC Universe continuity. While production on “The Batman Part II” carries on, another Batman film titled “The Brave and the Bold” is in development. This movie will be set within the DCU and focus on an older Bruce Wayne and his relationship with his son Damian Wayne.
In order to manage two distinct Batman movie series, Gunn might be aiming for a balanced approach. One could depict the exploits of a younger crime-fighter, played by Robert Pattinson, in his early career, while the other could delve into the tales of an older, seasoned Dark Knight leading the Bat Family in a more mature storyline. This distinction should be clear enough for even casual audiences who aren’t deeply familiar with DC Studios’ intricacies.
It’s possible that things might become a bit muddled if both versions of the Batman film series feature their own Robins at the same time. Given this, it seems doubtful that Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or any other Robin will be joining The Batman in his adventures when Part II is released in a few years. As the casting progresses for the movie, we can hope that the creators reveal which characters they plan to include in their Batman Epic Crime Saga. Studios often keep certain roles confidential, but perhaps for clarity’s sake, they might disclose character information as actors become part of the project.
