Summary

MAGIC MIND: https://magicmind.com/kh CODE: KH20
Things are heating up in Gotham... again. On today’s episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we're breaking down the latest rumor that director Matt Reeves may exit The Batman Part II if production doesn’t begin later this year as planned. With the movie already delayed multiple times, will Reeves walk? And what does that mean for Robert Pattinson’s Bat-future?

We also dive into Brandon Sklenar’s latest comments about potentially playing Batman in the DCU—revealing not only that he’s talked to DC Studios but also which Bat-actor is his personal favorite (hint: it’s not who you'd expect). Plus, Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays Kingpin in the MCU, now says he wants to play Swamp Thing in James Gunn’s DCU! Could we see him cross over into DC horror?

In Marvel news, Fantastic Four: First Steps is making waves as new info drops on Galactus, Johnny Storm, and Sue Storm’s Malice twist. The MCU is clearly going bold with its First Family reboot.

Join Kristian Coy and Winston on Capes and Cowls!
