Wait for 'The Batman 3' gets even longer
What's the story
James Gunn, the DC Studios boss, has denied rumors that The Batman: Part II will be shot back-to-back with The Batman: Part III. In a recent Q&A session on Threads, he confirmed that the two sequels are not filming "simultaneously." This comes as director Matt Reeves continues to work on his sequel in Gotham City. If fans had thought they'd have to wait less for the third part, that wish just got squashed.
