James Gunn Denies Back-To-Back Filming of Batman Sequels
A movie about Batman, a superhero who protects a city called Gotham, is being made.
It is called The Batman: Part II.
Some fans heard a rumor that the second and third Batman movies would be filmed at the same time.
James Gunn, the boss of DC Studios, said that rumor is not true.
The director, Matt Reeves, shared some test videos showing Batman and his car, the Batmobile, in the snow.
Fans are very excited about the snowy scenes.
The script for the movie is already finished.
The movie's release date was moved to February 18, 2028, because of earlier delays.
Fans will have to wait a few more years to see Batman on the big screen again.
