It’s been a long road for The Batman—Part II. Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves first The Batman movie hit screens in 2022. And the movie was immensely popular. But now, three years later, we have only seen bare whispers of the movie’s second installment. But happily, it looks like things are finally on the move for The Batman—Part II. In a Warner Bros. Discovery’s shareholder letter, the company revealed that The Batman—Part II was eyeing spring 2026 as its official filming start. Here’s what the letter said in full.
Warner Bros. Discovery wrote of The Batman—Part 2 and other DCU movies:
In film, James Gunn is busy preparing the next installments of the DC super family, including ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ (2026), ‘Clayface’ (2026) and the next ‘Wonder Woman.’ In addition, ‘The Batman II’ (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development. The 10-year vision for the DC universe also includes an exciting array of television projects, including ‘The Penguin,’ the upcoming new season of ‘Peacemaker,’ and the debut of ‘Lanterns’ in 2026. In a precise and measured way, the DC franchise will increasingly overlay across the studio’s broader efforts: from film and TV to consumer products, games, experiences and social.
Did you catch that “The Batman II (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring.” That is major progress for the movie, considering it didn’t even have a script just months ago. Matt Reeves FINALLY finished The Batman—Part II‘s script in mid-July. But James Gunn warned fans to be nice to Reeves and let him work on his own schedule. Gunn noted, “I am irritated by people. I mean, it’s just that thing people don’t need to be entitled about. It’s going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. And Matt’s not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay.” We guess that means The Batman—Part II‘s screenplay is finally good.
A little earlier in the year, The Batman—Part II star Robert Pattinson worried about having to play “an old Batman.” But it sounds like he won’t have to wait much longer. The Batman – Part II will release on October 1, 2027. And we’ll keep our fingers crossed that the DC Elseworlds sequel movie really will start to film sooner rather than later. We’d hate for Reeves, Pattinson, and the fans to wait much longer to create more of The Batman‘s world. And if The Batman—Part II does start to film in spring of 2026, it will mean a trailer and first-look images are right around the corner.
