Oh, the people on social media and the wannabe genre media “influencers.”
If you read BOF or listen to our podcasts, you know that I have been banging and will continue to bang the drum — old school BOF style — in support of a third film in Matt Reeves’ THE BATMAN EPIC CRIME SAGA. Even though Reeves has said that a trilogy was always the plan, a third film is not a given.
Thus, I bang the BOF drum for it.
With that said, not long ago I wrote an op-ed saying that 1) Yes, there should be third movie, and 2) It has to be released sooner than the 6-year gap between THE BATMAN and PART II. You can actually read it RIGHT HERE.
So, to follow that up on that op-ed and keep THE BATMAN PART III talk going, I posted this picture on Twitter…
That’s it.
Not once did I write on any social media or on the actual BOF website that PART II and PART II of THE BATMAN EPIC CRIME SAGA were filming back-to-back. That is not happening and, again, didn’t say it nor did I suggest it. People just incorrectly assumed and, well, you know what happens when you assume, right?
Look, I like to have fun with fans on social media. But when I have something to say, I say it straight-up on my website…just like I’ve done for nearly 3 GD decades.

The issue here is really with the aforementioned wannabe genre/Batman social media influencers. They are so quick to post something to get clicks, likes, thumb-ups, and followers, they’ll do it without even asking what, in this case, the original source the meaning of the image.
A lot of y’all jump to a conclusion and were dead ass wrong.
FYI: BOF is not a scoop site and I don’t post spoilers. If you actually read the site — which has been around for 28 years now — you know this…and you very likely would have known what the message behind the image was about. You either interpreted the image incorrectly or were duped by clickbait bullshit.
Those of you who ran “News Stories” reporting it as fact and that I said it, instead of telling y’all to fuck off, I’ll politely laugh and say, bless your hearts. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
