James Gunn comments on the 5 year time gap between ‘THE BATMAN’ and ‘THE BATMAN 2’:
“To be fair, a 5 year gap or more is fairly common in sequels. 7 years between Alien and Aliens. 14 years between Incredibles. 7 years between the first two Terminators. 13 years between Avatars.… pic.twitter.com/fAMfuRO1di

The Batman (Matt Reeves verse) came out in march 2022, the sequel got pushed back again and again and is now coming out october 2027.
Fans are kinda pissed but DC boss Gunn thinks this large gaps in franchises are normal
“To be fair, a 5 year gap or more is fairly common in sequels. 7 years between Alien and Aliens. 14 years between Incredibles. 7 years between the first two Terminators. 13 years between Avatars. 36 years between Top Guns. And, of course, 6 years between Guardians Vol 2 and Vol 3.”
Gunn also said the sequel is so late bc there is no script ready ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
