While James Gunn has begun filming for his first chapter of the new Dcu, Superman, he has also been working extra hard as the DC Studios chief to dispel rumors about his films or any other upcoming films in the franchise. The filmmaker is known to be active on Threads and frequently provides answers to fans about a rumor in case it is fake.
Gunn recently debunked a rumor about the casting of a former Marvel star to play Harvey Dent in Matt Reeves’ upcoming film The Batman: Part II. Narcos star Boyd Holbrook was rumored to have joined the cast of the Robert Pattinson starrer as Two-Face. However, Gunn quickly squashed the rumor, saying that the news report was fake.

Back in 2022 former freelance artist for DC Comics, Christopher Wozniak sued Warner Brothers for apparently plagiarising his work. Not long after ‘The Batman’ premiered, Wozniak expressed shock at Warner Bros., Matt Reeves, and Peter Craig, alleging they copied his story ‘The Ultimate Riddle,’ renamed ‘The Blind Man’s Hat.’ Wozniak promptly hired a lawyer, leading to a copyright infringement lawsuit dubbed “Batmangate.”
The original lawsuit, filed in October 2022, led to Warner Bros. countersuing Wozniak, arguing his story infringed on their copyright by including Batman characters without permission. Despite Wozniak’s defense, the judge ruled in DC’s favor, stating Reeves and Craig didn’t plagiarize Wozniak. Instead, Wozniak was found guilty of copyright infringement for using DC characters without authorization.
In a 45-page decision, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer concluded that Warner Bros. and ‘The Batman’ writer/director Matt Reeves did not copy Christopher Wozniak’s story ‘The Ultimate...

Although it has been a while since Matt Reeves’ The Batman premiered in theaters, the movie is still a hot topic as the 2022 lawsuit filed by Christopher Wozniak, a screenwriter and former freelance artist for DC Comics, has finally been settled. And while this news won’t overshadow recent production information on the upcoming sequel to Reeves’ hit film, it will certainly make the whole series an even hotter topic than it already is. In short, a judge ruled that The Batman is not a plagiarized version of Wozniak’s earlier story and that, in fact, it was Wozniak who committed an act of copyright infringement by using DC Comics characters in his story without, as it seems, clear permission.
So, what’s the whole story here? Well, not long after The Batman came out, the aforementioned Christopher Wozniak commented how he was stunned Warner Bros., alongside writers Matt Reeves and Peter Craig,...

The Batman was a refreshing change in the turbulent DC Extended Universe. Taking a different approach from earlier DC and Batman movies, this 2022 flick starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayn is essentially a noir-style mystery that highlights the superhero’s detective abilities in addition to his physical prowess.
Not only did it create a bleak new Gotham City, but it also featured some of the best performances from Colin Farrell (The Penguin), Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon), Zoë Kravitz (Catwoman), and of course, Pattinson (Batman).
However, the film was met with some skepticism following Christopher Wozniak, a screenwriter and former freelance artist for DC Comics, filing a lawsuit against Warner Bros. for allegedly stealing the story from his script, The Ultimate Riddle.
