James Gunn Denies Recent The Batman 2 Script Report

James Gunn is denying a recent report regarding the script for The Batman 2.

The Batman was released in March 2022. The DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures movie is directed by Matt Reeves and stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, and more.

A sequel is currently expected to arrive in October 2027, though there has been much chatter about when the script for the film will be ready.

What is the latest update on The Batman 2?

Last week, Puck reported that Reeves was set to deliver his script for The Batman 2 to Warner Bros. and DC today — meaning Monday, June 23, 2025. Gunn, however, took to Threads this morning to say that the report was “not true,” meaning the script won’t be arriving today.

Having said that, fans of The Batman need not worry too much, yet, as Gunn also told Entertainment Weekly last week that they’re “supposed” to get The Batman 2 script in June.

“I hope that happens,” Gunn said. “We feel really good about it. Matt’s excited. I talk to Matt all the time. I’m totally excited about it. So we can’t wait to read the scripts, but we haven’t read it yet, if that’s your question. People should get off Matt’s nuts because it’s like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That’s just the way it is. He doesn’t owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does.”

Plot details for The Batman 2 remain under wraps at this time. The film currently has an October 1, 2027, release date. The Batman and The Penguin spin-off show, meanwhile, are both available to stream on Max.
