Matt Reeves Says 'The Batman Part II' Villain Hasn't Been Done on Film Before

The finished, tightly guarded script pivots the saga toward Bruce Wayne under the Elseworlds banner, with filming slated for spring 2026 followed by an October 1, 2027 release.

Overview

  • Reeves describes the sequel as a Bruce Wayne–focused story rather than a traditional rogues’ gallery showcase.
  • He confirms the project remains a DC Elseworlds title, separate from James Gunn’s DCU slate.
  • The completed screenplay is being shared with Robert Pattinson under strict security, including a locked, coded pouch.
  • Pre-production is gearing up for principal photography in spring 2026, with the theatrical debut set for October 1, 2027.
  • Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone will not appear, and Reeves says a third film is uncertain while keeping Robin rumors noncommittal.
