Summary

Matt Reeves has finally set the record straight on whether The Batman Part II exists in James Gunn’s DCU or if it remains part of DC Elseworlds. On today’s show, Kristian Harloff and Steph Sabraw break down his comments, what they mean for the future of Robert Pattinson’s Batman, and how this affects DC moving forward. Reeves also teases that The Batman II will focus heavily on Bruce Wayne while featuring a villain that’s “never really been done” on screen before.

We also dive into the first official still from Star Wars: Starfighter, which gives fans a glimpse of Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray’s mysterious characters. Plus, updates from HBO on House of the Dragon Season 3 and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, casting news on Paul Walter Hauser joining the new Resident Evil movie, and early reviews for One Battle After Another.
