Rumors: ‘The Batman Part II’ Receives Significant Filming Update Following Delay News

DC’s live-action Batman projects currently include Gunn’s upcoming ‘The Brave and the Bold’ and Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’ under the ‘Elseworlds’ label, starring Robert Pattinson.

Originally planned as the first of a trilogy, ‘The Batman’ quickly led to the announcement of ‘The Batman – Part II.’ In December 2021, Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves discussed ideas for future Batman films, such as introducing Robin and featuring villains like the Court of Owls. In April 2022, Warner Bros. confirmed the development of the next Batman film, with Matt Reeves directing and Robert Pattinson reprising his role.

Recently, news broke that the movie would be delayed by a full year. Instead of its original release date in October 2025, the movie is now slated to hit theaters on October 2, 2026. While several reasons have been speculated for the delay, including the SAG-AFTRA strike and theories about Gunn’s preferences, none have been officially confirmed.

According to Jeff Sneider’s newsletter, filming for ‘The Batman Part II’ is set to commence in April next year, with casting announcements expected this fall. Some fans have raised concerns about this timeline, but whatever is currently unfolding with the film will likely become clearer with time.

Details about the cast and plot of the movie remain largely under wraps. Got something to contribute? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!
