The DC Studios boss took to social media on Friday to dispel a rumor that the Dark Knight’s orphaned sidekick Robin (aka Dick Grayson) will make his debut in Matt Reeves‘ upcoming sequel.

“Guys please stop believing this nonsense. I think six of us have read the script. No one knows anything about The Batman 2,” wrote Gunn on Threads.

“Anything you’ve heard about that movie is made up or a guess,” wrote Gunn in a previous post. “No one in the world knows anything about the concept for the story except four people.”

Premiering last month in theaters, Gunn’s Superman launched a new DCU with the ‘Gods and Monsters’ phase, separate from Reeves’ ‘Batman Epic Crime Saga’, which includes The Batman (2022) and last year’s HBO Max series spin-off The Penguin.

After Gunn previously defended the delays on The Batman Part II, which is set to premiere on Oct. 1, 2027 following a year-long postponement, Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin revealed in June that they finished the script for the sequel.

In a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders this week, the studio confirmed that production will begin on The Batman Part II in the spring.
