Many things have been said about Batman 2, the long-awaited sequel with Robert Pattinson where we will see him wear the cape of the dark knight once again.

Little by little, this exciting production is taking shape, making its way into superhero cinema and becoming one of the most anticipated titles of the genre in the future.

But although the rumors are up to date, James Gunn comes out to deny several of them, arguing that they are a large handful of lies, completely invented gossip.

According to James Gunn , director of Guardians of the Galaxy and current president of DC Studios. Rumors about some characters who will allegedly appear in Batman 2 are completely false.

The filmmaker took to his social networks to refute a news page that is dedicated to talking about superhero movies and that used Daniel RPK as a source, the popular Twitter influencer who apparently knows all the latest Hollywood movie news before it is confirmed through official means.

According to Gunn, neither Pyg nor Scarecrow will join the sequel, so many fans could be disappointed with the news.

A very safe bet

Originally known as The Batman, the film features famous opponents of the Dark Knight such as the Riddler, the Penguin and Carmine Falcone. None of them manage to eclipse the guardian of Gotham City and Matt Reeves wants things to continue this way.

Pattinson stole the breath of all fans since the release of the first trailer in mid-2020 and did not disappoint when the film hit theaters in March 2022, after a very long wait generated by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Batman went through many, many problems in its time of production. Filming was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic and rumors came to light about disagreements between Robert Pattinson and Reeves.

Finally, the film had the opportunity to conclude its recordings and hit the billboard, grossing more than US$750 million worldwide.

The new era of the Bat has arrived and it will be interesting to see if the words spoken by Matt come true or if his incarnation of the Dark Knight also ends up being opaque by some secondary of greater interest among fans.

Meanwhile, DC Films continues to push its DC Extended Universe despite the big, huge setbacks that have occurred over the past few weeks.

Although things have gone well with The Batman and media attention remains on HBO Max.

Warner Bros. must be very intelligent with its other hero saga, the one that has been in the public eye for almost ten years.

For his part, Batman has had a significant impact on popular culture since his creation in 1939 by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.

This iconic DC Comics superhero is distinguished by lacking supernatural superpowers, relying on his intelligence, detective skills, and formidable martial arts skills.

Batman’s duality as Bruce Wayne, a traumatized billionaire, has allowed for darker and more complex themes to be explored in the narrative of comics and film adaptations.

His presence has influenced not only other comic book characters, but also the conception of heroes in general, popularizing the tormented hero and providing a more nuanced perspective on the struggle between good and evil in the genre.

In addition to his impact on the comic book world, Batman has left an indelible mark on popular culture through numerous films, television series, video games, and merchandise.

The film franchise directed by Christopher Nolan, in particular, with films such as Batman Begins and Batman: The Dark Knight, raised the character’s status to new heights and set a standard for superhero films.

Batman has transcended the boundaries of the original medium to become a global cultural symbol, resonating with audiences of diverse ages and backgrounds.
