James Gunn is expecting to see The Batman - Part II script very soon

He's also said that the film is very important to the future of DC.

Despite being delayed to more than two years from now, The Batman - Part II still has plenty of people hyped for its eventual arrival. The sequel to Matt Reeves' 2022 The Batman seems of particular interest to one James Gunn, current co-head of DC Studios.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly ahead of Superman's premiere next month, Gunn spoke briefly about The Batman - Part II. "What Matt's doing is still really important, despite all stories to the contrary," he said. "We're supposed to see that script shortly, and I can't wait."

It seems then, that perhaps originally it being the plan that Matt Reeves' Gotham would steer clear of the DCU, there could be some tie-ins somewhere down the road. It makes a bit more sense than having two Batmen around, after all. Of course, that's just speculation, and even if it were true, it's unlikely we'd get a tease setting up a Batman cameo in a future DCU film, as James Gunn revealed he will only do post-credits scenes like the MCU if they make sense.

"The most important thing is the specific stories," Gunn said. "There is also a much bigger story that we're telling that will take a little bit longer to tell."

The Batman - Part II releases on the 1st of October, 2027.
