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:
