James Gunn’s Superman is set to make its presence in the theatres on 11 July 2025, which has stirred excitement among the audience. However, while he is busy preparing for Superman’s premiere, he drops a quick appreciation for a black-capped superhero. According to Screen Rant, he was asked if he had read the script of the highly anticipated sequel, The Batman II. On this question, he replied with a two-word appreciation, ‘It’s great’, which might look small but holds great significance.
James Gunn at Superman’s Premiere
James Gunn entered the venue on the red carpet for the premiere of his movie, ‘Superman’, in a vest coat. The media outlets Deadline and Screen Rant questioned the filmmaker and the DC studio’s co-head about the anticipated sequel to The Batman 2. Gunn gave a positive response to the question, confirming that he has read the script and appreciated its storyline. Moreover, The Batman 2 is a sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman that has been delayed for a long time.
The only appreciation he gave to the media outlets was ‘It’s great’, which is not just a regular comment here. The two words hold a weight of suspense and astonishment. Most fans were starting to believe that the sequel might never air in the theatres because of constant delays. However, these two words have brought back the lost spark of hope and excitement for the sequel. As per the recent update, The Batman 2 is rescheduled to premiere in October 2027.
James Gunn on Matt Reeves’ Rescue
James Gunn is spotted in Matt Reeves’ defense for a long time. Gunn is a supportive hand of Reeves, who was recently bashed for not being vocal about Batman’s updates. He commented on the impatience of the fans with “Get off Matt’s nuts” when they went out of control. This incident shows James Gunn’s protective side towards Matt Reeves and their bond. Moreover, this same protective energy was deflected over his face when he subtly appreciated the script of The Batman 2 on the red carpet.
The Batman 2’s script
According to the DC Universe timeline, The Batman 2 is bringing fresh ideas to the theatres. The sequel is expected to stand out from the rest of the movies produced by the DC Universe. “The Batman” and the series “The Penguin” are two of Reeves’ creations that are subcategories in the Reeves’ Universe. Standalone movies and series always have the potential to break free of the restricted circle of anticipated projects.
Matt Reeves is quite vague about any updates on The Batman, except once in January. In an interview with Deadline, he hinted at a surprise element in the movie that hasn’t been introduced yet. According to him, the story will continue from where it was left, but it will introduce a whole new element in the storyline. The fans are caught off guard by his vocal teaser about The Batman 2, which has possibly delayed its release. It has forced them to anticipate the possible surprise element of the movie.
Reaction to James Gunn’s comment
The two-word comment doesn’t tell us about the storyline and advancements of the movie. However, when a famous filmmaker and co-head of the DC Studios says a script is great, it most probably is. Gunn has made it clear that the sequel is not defined by the rumors but exists in the Reeves’ Universe. The movie is something that nobody will ever see again, which shows its potential script and cast ideas.
Even after the DC universe’s inconsistent quality in movies, this movie is still expected to break its box office collection. The first movie, The Batman, is enough to tell that the sequel will not be less than the original movie. In addition, Reeves seems to take his time in perfecting all the details in the plot with the constant support of Gunn. Thus, we can expect a blockbuster movie from the filmmakers at the release of the most-awaited sequel, The Batman.
Conclusion
James Gunn sparked the light in the audience’s eyes with the news of the completion of the script. His small but precise comment on the storyline of The Batman 2 has impacted a whole generation of ‘The Batman’ lovers. He has given them an excuse to take out their capes and roam around their houses acting as if they are superheroes with the black mask. His movie, Superman, will premiere in theatres on July 11, which Batman lovers must watch for the teaser given for them.
