James Gunn has once again confirmed that the DCU Batman won't be Robert Pattinson – and I'm still disappointed. "We've talked about it before, but it's not what's happening right now," Gunn told Entertainment Tonight. "Everything's in flux, so we'll figure out what we're doing next."

James Gunn has once again shut down the rumors that Robert Pattinson’s Batman is joining the DCU. People have been speculating about this for a while, especially after some confusion online, but Gunn made it clear it’s not happening.

The sequel to Pattinson’s The Batman, currently titled The Batman Part 2, is set to begin filming in spring 2026 for a 2027 release, according to Warner Bros. Discovery’s recent letter to shareholders.
