The Batman Part II's delay has been a topic of speculation, with James Gunn's involvement and Matt Reeves' slow script development taking center stage. However, a recent report suggests a different narrative, one that involves Gunn's delays and interference, rather than Reeves' slowness.

The leaks surrounding Batman's appearance in Man of Tomorrow further highlight the tension between Gunn and Reeves. With Reeves' script finally turning in and the movie set to release in October 2027, the question remains: who will be around to take credit for the success of The Batman Part II? The article concludes by emphasizing the need for a fresh start, with Reeves and his allies in control, and Gunn's potential departure from the DCU.
