- A new report suggests Batman II part It will have Robin
- The rumor emerged less than 24 hours after the start date of the film’s filming was revealed.
- If it is true, ask questions about the DCU Batman movie
Batman II part It is still more than two years after the cinemas shoot, but a new rumor could not only have huge implications for the film itself, but also the DC universe of James Gunn (DCU).
Let’s start with the last piece of gossip. Yesterday (August 7), the industry informant Jeff Sneider suggested that Robin, the most famous companion of the Knight Dark, is part of the cast of the superhero film. Sneider made the claim in the latest incorporation of his INSNEIDER bulletin and says he learned about Robin’s inclusion after sitting with a “well located source” at the beginning of the week.
Sneider’s statement occurs less than 24 hours after Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) announced that filming would begin in Batman II part In early 2026. Taking into account the time of Sneider’s statement, some observers would argue that his arrival is a bit too coincident. After all, if Sneider spoke with his fountain before WBD confirmed when the cameras would begin to roll in the sequel to the DC comics movie, why not reveal it before?
Robin’s apparent inclusion in Matt Reeves’s next Batman movie poses even more questions and potentially kills a great fans theory about Batman II part‘S History. So, let’s break down the greatest ones in my mind at this time.
Let us first address the aforementioned fans theory. Some fans have speculated that The Batman 2 It will be strongly inspired by ‘The Long Halloween’, one of the most famous comic series of the Cruzado de la Capa. Your evidence? The BatmanThe follow -up is scheduled to arrive in October 2027, so a story based on the iconic literary works of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale would be on the next release date of the film.
Robin’s possible appearance in Batman II part Pour cold water on that theory because it is not in ‘The Long Halloween’. Okay, the next entry of Batman Crime Saga’s big screen could take creative freedoms with this literature and include Robin. It would not be the first time that a superhero movie has changed the elements of a series of comics on which it is based. However, I would be surprised if Reeves and his co -fellow co -manner Mattson Tomlin Shoehorned Robin in his history if he is based on ‘The Long Halloween’, particularly because he would largely affect the timeline of the events of that story.
Now is the time to try to address some of those big questions that I mentioned earlier, and, surprise, it is based on a long discussion about whether Batman’s epic crime saga is being doubled in the DCU.
Here are the facts: when James Gunn announced the initial line of Chapter one of DCU in January 2023, one of the projects he discussed was a Batman movie. Noble The brave and the boldIt is expected to be drawn a lot from the comic series ‘Batman and Son’ Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert. In it, the dark gentleman is surprised to know that he has a son named Damien, whom he takes and tries to raise. However, without deepening too much in the spoiler territory, there is more than it seems that the apparently genetically perfect but full of anger.
Now, even if it is confirmed that Robin is part of Batman II partThe cast, we do not know which will appear. It could be any of Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damien Wayne, or one of the less known Robins in Stephanie Brown or Carrie Kelley. There are other Robins, but those listed are the best known.
Yes – And it’s a great yes – The Batman 2 However, he presents Damien, the fans will correctly make the question: Does the Batman epic crime saga will finally be part of the DCU? After all, it would be nonsense, not to mention incredibly confusing, if we have two Batman films that exist in separate film universes and present the same super duo.
From what is worth, Gunn and Reeves have largely closed the idea that the reeves-tessels be absorbed by the DCU. However, crucial, Gunn has always left the door a bit Jar, DC Studios’s co -chair president told Entertainment Tonight: “I have said it before. [Gunn and Reeves] I have talked about that before, but it’s not what is happening right now. “(N.B: Gunn did not emphasize the words in italics, but I have done it to mark home my point that the door is not closed in these two universes that potentially merge).
There is evidence that Gunn and Reeves Batman films will continue to exist in separate shared universes. In June, Gunn said “I think I have a way” when I was asked for an update about The brave and the boldScript He also revealed that an unidentified writer was busy writing it.
Now, it could be argued that these things could be related to Reeves’s own Batman movie. He and Tomlin were still coming out The Batman 2The script when Gunn made those comments. The fact that Gunn did not mention the name of the writer of his film, in addition to his appointment “I think I have a form in”, it could be interpreted like him and Reeves secretly agree to bend The BatmanThe epic saga of crime in the DCU. For me, however, that is similar to fans grabbing straws and trying to express the integration of the first in the second.
Frankly, considering that Bruce Wayne by Robert Pattison had only been operating as Batman for a couple of years in The Batmanthe only way in which it would be greater enough to have a child in The Batman 2 It is if he presented a great leap. Of course, that is a possibility, but I don’t see that it happens.
The best that Gunn, who is active on social networks, can do at this time is to confirm or deny Sneider’s claim. Yes Robin is established to appear in Batman II partGunn, or even Reeves himself, could give us some indication on which will be presented in the next Reeves big screen project. That is the only way to officially put another pin in this endless debate on Batman’s epic state, the continuous independence of the saga in the saga to the DCU.
Meanwhile, let me know what you think. Should these two universes remain separate, or is it time for Pattinson layer to say the leap to the DCU? Sounds in the comments.
