Warner Bros. would not comment on any individual worker’s health, sharing only this statement as quoted by Vanity Fair: “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused.”
The first trailer of the film was released recently.
