1. Clayface
In a recent interaction on Threads, James Gunn clarified some set design choices for Clayface. He mentioned that the inclusion of Batman-themed decor likely happened without his approval. He commented, “Although the trash can is from the set, I have a hard time believing the bat was put there by the art department.

2. The Batman, Part II
In a recent confirmation from Matt Reeves, fans learned that Cristin Milioti won’t reprise her role as Sofia Falcone in The Batman, Part II.
