<p>James Gunn is shutting down rumors about Robin appearing in "The Batman Part II."</p>
<p>After fan speculation spread online that the Boy Wonder would appear in Matt Reeves' highly anticipated sequel, Gunn took to Threads on Friday to set the record straight. He wrote that a very small team at DC has actually read the script for "The Batman Part II," and that all outside information is "nonsense."</p>

<p>"Guys please stop believing this nonsense," he wrote. "I think six of us have read the script. No one knows anything about 'the Batman 2.'"</p>
<p>This isn't the first time the "Superman" director tried to quell fan rumors. In a previous Threads post on Monday, he wrote, "Anything you've heard about that movie is made up or a guess. No one in the world knows anything about the concept for the story except four people."</p>
<p>Warner Bros. Discovery released a letter to shareholders on Thursday announcing production on "The Batman Part II" will begin in spring 2026 for a targeted release in October 2027. The letter also touted several other upcoming DC projects, like "Clayface," "Supergirl" and "Wonder Woman."</p>
<p>"In film, James Gunn is busy preparing the next installments of the DC super family, including 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' (2026), 'Clayface' (2026) and the next 'Wonder Woman,'" the letter read. "In addition, 'The Batman II' (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development. The 10-year vision for the DC universe also includes an exciting array of television projects, including 'The Penguin,' the upcoming new season of 'Peacemaker,' and the debut of 'Lanterns' in 2026. In a precise and measured way, the DC franchise will increasingly overlay across the studio's broader efforts: from film and TV to consumer products, games, experiences and social."</p>
