• A photo from the Clayface set in Liverpool showed a dumpster bearing a bat symbol matching Robert Pattinson’s The Batman, prompting fresh crossover speculation.
• On Threads, Gunn said the trash can was from the set but the logo never came across his desk, adding he does not have time to approve every piece of set dressing.
• DC Studios has maintained that Matt Reeves’ The Batman operates as an Elseworlds project outside the DCU’s continuity.
