The Batman Part II Delayed to 2027 Due to Unfinished Script

Director Matt Reeves and DC Studios prioritize quality over speed, pushing the sequel's release back to October 1, 2027.

The Batman Part II, originally scheduled for 2026, has been delayed to October 1, 2027, due to the lack of a completed script.
Director Matt Reeves is committed to delivering a high-quality sequel, emphasizing the importance of a well-crafted script before production begins.
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirmed that big-budget films like this require approximately two years of preparation, filming, and post-production after the script is finalized.
The delay will result in a five-year gap between the release of the first film in March 2022 and its sequel, frustrating fans eager for more of Robert Pattinson's portrayal of Batman.
The Penguin spinoff series, which debuted to positive reviews in September, continues to expand the shared Gotham universe and may influence the sequel's storyline.
