Summary

The Batman 2 Delayed Again?! | The Kristian Harloff Show

Is The Batman Part II facing another delay? And if so, what’s really going on behind the scenes with director Matt Reeves? On today’s Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the growing speculation that Reeves may be dealing with something serious—serious enough that it’s being compared to a “Chadwick Boseman situation.” Whether it's a personal health issue or something else entirely, fans are divided on whether DC or Reeves should make a statement or just be given space.

Plus, actor Brandon Sklenar confirms DC Studios has contacted him about possibly stepping into the cape and cowl for The Brave and The Bold. Is he our next DCU Batman?

We’ve also got a packed show full of industry updates:

Cannes Film Festival 2025 reveals its official line-up

James Cameron says A.I. may be the key to saving VFX-heavy blockbusters

Cinemas are furious over the rowdy “Minecraft” meme movement and its impact on screenings

HBO officially renews “The Last of Us” for Season 3 — but is it the final chapter?

Set photos tease Castle Grayskull in the upcoming live-action He-Man movie

Matt Johnson, director of BlackBerry, is reportedly being eyed to direct the first Magic: The Gathering live-action film for Hasbro and Legendary

And of course, we discuss what this all means for the future of DC films, the “Bat-verse,” and the cinematic landscape as a whole.

Make sure to subscribe and join the conversation. Let us know in the comments—should The Batman Part II be delayed to give Reeves more time? Or is it time for DC Studios to move fully into the new DCU with The Brave and The Bold?
