DC Studios’ Head James Gunn Defends the Delay of ‘The Batman 2’ to 2027: ‘A 5 Year Gap or More is Fairly Common in Sequels’


DC Studios' head James Gunn is defending the delay of 'The Batman 2' to 2027.

It was announced Friday that Matt Revees’ follow-up to 2022’s “The Batman” was postponed from Oct. 2, 2026, to Oct. 1, 2027, which sparked some online backlash from fans concerned by the five-year hold. Gunn took to Threads later that day to quell any doubts surrounding the push, saying that it is “fairly common” for big-budget titles to have lengthy gaps before a sequel is released. Gunn had earlier posted on Threads to confirm the delay of “The Batman 2,” writing that “the only reason the film was pushed” was because a “full script” had yet to be completed.
