James Gunn Issues Stern Response to Latest 'The Batman Part II' Report
After longtime entertainment insider Jeff Sneider dropped a few tidbits relating to the Matt Reeves-directed movie, specifically citing that Robin was in the initial script, Gunn had a response on social media.
James Gunn Responds After Rumor That Robin Is in 'The Batman Part II' Script
The report from Sneider also included a source stating that Reeves and company are taking a "big swing" with the script of The Batman Part II. Gunn replied to an X account DCU PRIME TV, shutting down not only that rumor, but stating that "no one knows anything" about the upcoming Batman film.
"Guys please stop believing this nonsense," Gunn wrote. "I think six of us have read the script. No one knows anything about the Batman 2."
It's a strong response from Gunn, and it's not at all surprising that he hopped on social media and addressed the topic head-on, as we saw him do several times ahead of the Superman release.
While fans obviously won't know for certain if Robin actually is in the movie until a good bit down the line, Gunn's comeback seemingly shuts it down, unless DC is attempting to hold off on the news for any reason.
'The Batman Part II' Filming Timeline Revealed
On a major positive note for Batman fans and DC fans as a whole, the ball is now officially rolling on The Batman Part II. This includes news of when the movie will begin production, which Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav revealed on an earnings call, as ScreenRant revealed.
"...'The Batman II' (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development. The 10-year vision for the DC universe also includes an exciting array of television projects, including 'The Penguin,' the upcoming new season of 'Peacemaker,' and the debut of 'Lanterns' in 2026," Zaslav said.
With filming slated for spring 2026, it should signal a release sometime in 2027, although Gunn will almost certainly provide that information as soon as it's set in stone.James Gunn Issues Stern Response to Latest 'The Batman Part II' Report first appeared on Men's Journal on Aug 8, 2025

People Are Finally Warming Up To JoJo Siwa Dating Chris Hughes After The Initial Shock Of Their Hetero-Relationship Went Viral
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are winning people over one TikTok video at a time. And their most recent post has a lot of viewers doing a collective "aww" as they witnessed just how much fun the 22-year-old entertainer and the 32-year-old media personality have together. Earlier this week, JoJo shared a video from their three days exploring the new Star of the Seas Royal Caribbean cruise — their newest and largest ship. Along with Chris, some of JoJo's family also came along for the adventure. Related: The nearly 30-second video featured a ton of sweet clips showing the couple smiling and giggling while trying out all of the amenities. From a giant waterslide... ...to showing off skills on the basketball court... ...and racing down another waterslide... Related: ...sprinkling in some baby time... ...and walking around the 1,196-foot boat. All of this while stealing some cute intimate moments with each other. Related: Related: These positive comments come after JoJo received a lot of backlash when she admitted she "felt pressure to identify as a lesbian," and dumped her ex Kath Ebbs at the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party. Some people from the LGBTQ+ community accused JoJo of turning her back on them when she publicly stated that she no longer identified as a lesbian, while also going public with her relationship with Chris on Instagram. Needless to say, I think we can all agree it's ultimately not our place to tell her who to love. And I'm glad fans are finally allowing her to enjoy this happy time in her life, no matter who she loves!

Bill Belichick won't headline North Carolina's weekly coach's radio show
Bill Belichick coaches in college football, but it appears he won't be a regular in one college football tradition: The coach's weekly radio show. North Carolina announced Thursday that Belichick will be on the first episode of the Tar Heels' weekly radio show on Aug. 27 at Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery, but general manager Michael Lombardi will be the show's headliner each week. Previously called 'Mack Brown Live,' it will now be called 'Carolina Football Live.' Assistant coaches and players will join Lombardi weekly on the show, according to UNC's press release, which does not specify when Belichick will return to the show. Lombardi has previous media experience, hosting podcasts and appearing regularly on Pat McAfee's show. While the coach's weekly radio show is still common across college football, the opportunity for fans to call in and ask live questions has started to disappear over the years. Nick Saban was a rare high-profile coach who continued to take live calls until he retired in 2024. Many schools have removed that opportunity, either because of losses or a coach getting upset with a caller. After a spat with 'Tyler from Spartanburg' in 2023, Clemson ended live calls for coach Dabo Swinney. The show now takes questions via text message. North Carolina says fans who cannot make the show in person can submit questions via email. Some college coaches have the weekly radio show written into their contracts. Belichick's deal at UNC only says the coach shall appear on media opportunities 'as reasonably requested by the University' and that the timing and location shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. It's under the $9 million 'supplemental income' section of his contract. North Carolina opens with TCU on Sept. 1. Spot the pattern.
