James Gunn has addressed reports circulating about "The Batman 2" and its ties to the DC Universe.

Ever since Gunn and Peter Safran were recently appointed as co-CEOS of DC Studios, one of the biggest questions is what the future DC Universe will look like.

In response to a report from Variety about the new CEOs potentially incorporating Robert Pattinson's "Batman" into the future DCU, Gunn has set the record straight on Twitter, saying the claim is "entirely untrue".

"There are few reporters I love more than @adambvary- truly a good guy - but in this case he needs to get a new source as this is entirely untrue," he tweeted.

"The Batman" was released in March and met with tremendous praise and success.

In April, Warner Bros. announced a sequel was in development, which will see Matt Reeves returning as director and Pattinson as the Caped Crusader.

Reeves recently signed a deal with DC Studios and is planning on creating a separate universe for his future projects, referred to as “The Batverse".

This will allow more Batman movies and spinoffs to operate independently of the cinematic universe that Gunn and Safran are planning on forming.
