Overview

  • James Gunn told fans that reports of Hush serving as the main villain in The Batman Part II are unsubstantiated rumors born from guesswork.
  • The Brave and the Bold sequel has not yet secured its Batman lead, though Gunn says he remains deeply involved in drafting the screenplay.
  • Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II is slated to enter production in early 2026 after years of development under DC Studios’ quality-focused greenlight policy.
  • The sequel retains its October 1, 2027 U.S. release date with Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell confirmed to return.
  • Under the unified DCU strategy, Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran are balancing standalone Elseworlds projects with interconnected entries by waiting for completed scripts before advancing to filming.
