"Is that a Christopher Nolan script? I heard this is how he sends the scripts to his actors," one person guessed right away.

Others were equally elated.

"Dude, I seriously can’t wait to see you as Gordon again! I LOVED your performance in the first movie, you’re the PERFECT Gordon, Jeffrey!" read one comment.

"I'm soo happy you guys can create an standalone Batman Epic Crime Saga words can't express how i'm hyped for The Batman Part II," said another.

Jeffrey Wright, who portrays Jim Gordon in Matt Reeves' The Batman Saga, also voiced Batman himself in the Batman: The Audio Adventures podcast. He is set to return in The Batman: Part II.

In fact, he is one of the few actors to have worked with both Marvel and DC Entertainment.

Colin Farrell, who plays Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, also shared earlier that he had received the script but didn't get time to read it. Others who have access to the script include DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, producers Dylan Clark, David Zaslav and Chantal Nong.

It goes without saying that Robert Pattinson, who plays Batman, has also read the script. The film is due to be released on October 1, 2027, with production on the superhero film starting in early 2026.
