Why Fans Shouldn’t Trust Scoop Culture—or James Gunn

James Gunn says Robin isn’t showing up in The Batman Part II, but fans should know better than to take that at face value. The rumor came from scooper Jeff Sneider, whose track record is mixed, but Gunn—now a studio co-head—has every reason to mislead when it comes to protecting a film’s secrets. In the world of scoop culture, half-truths and strategic denials are part of the game, and until we see set photos or a trailer, nobody outside the production really knows what’s true.
