'The Batman 2' Set for 2027 Release

James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has reiterated that The Batman Part II, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson, is a key ongoing project despite its separation from DC's main continuity and several delays. The sequel is now scheduled for release on October 1, 2027, with delays attributed to a focus on script quality and industry-wide changes. Gunn countered rumors of cancellation, emphasizing the importance of Reeves’ vision and confirming that the script is expected soon. Filming for The Batman Part II is anticipated to begin by the end of 2025. Simultaneously, DC Studios is developing a new Batman for its main DCU continuity, but both projects will proceed independently. The original film’s critical and commercial success has heightened anticipation for the sequel.
