'Batman 2' Faces Potential Delays as Script Remains Unwritten

Director Matt Reeves' decision to keep the sequel separate from the main DC universe adds to the complexity of DC Studios' upcoming projects.

James Gunn, co-chair and co-CEO of DC Studios, revealed that a script for 'The Batman 2' has not been written yet, leading to concerns among fans about the film's planned October 2025 release date.
Matt Reeves, director of 'The Batman', chose to keep the sequel separate from the main DC universe, which is being rebooted by Gunn. This decision has been respected by the DC Studios team.
The sequel to 'The Batman' is expected to continue the crime saga narrative introduced in the first film, which also includes a spin-off TV series featuring the character Penguin.
Despite the delay in 'The Batman 2', DC Studios is moving forward with other projects, including 'Superman: Legacy' and 'The Brave and the Bold', both part of Gunn's rebooted DCU.
Financial analysis platform Macroaxis recently suggested that Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of DC Studios, has a 60% chance of bankruptcy due to its current debt load.
