The Batman 2 Gets a Bold Update From Matt Reeves: “Never Been Done”

by

Matt Reeves has announced that production on *The Batman: Part II* is beginning soon. He promises the sequel will do something completely new with the Batman character on film. This movie continues the story established in *The Batman* and *The Penguin*, existing outside the main DC Universe as part of Reeves’ own separate world. *The Batman: Part II* is currently slated for release on October 1, 2027, and will once again star Robert Pattinson as Batman. Reeves recently shared some details about what audiences can expect from the upcoming film.

Matt Reeves told *The Hollywood Reporter* at the 2025 Emmy Awards that he was thrilled to give Robert Pattinson the script for *The Batman: Part II*. He believed Pattinson would enjoy it, noting that the film explores Batman and Bruce Wayne in a completely new way. Reeves also emphasized the importance of keeping the plot details secret to build anticipation for what he describes as a complex and thrilling continuation of the Caped Crusader’s story.

What to Expect From The Batman: Part II

In a recent conversation with *The Hollywood Reporter*, director Matt Reeves shared that preparations are underway for *The Batman: Part II*. He explained that the team is being reassembled and work is beginning, with filming expected to start in early 2026. Reeves also mentioned the delay between the first film and its sequel was intentional, allowing time to develop a truly exceptional script, which they now have.

Robert Pattinson’s Batman sequel will likely emphasize the detective work that made the first film so successful. The original *The Batman* centered on Bruce Wayne solving a series of crimes committed by the Riddler, with help from the Gotham City Police Department. Director Matt Reeves is keeping plot details tightly under wraps, wanting to preserve the mystery and ensure the detective focus remains a key element of the story.

Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell are all set to return for *The Batman: Part II*. However, it’s unclear if Zoë Kravitz will reprise her role as Catwoman. While there was talk of Cristin Milioti potentially returning as Sofia Gigante after winning an Emmy, director Matt Reeves has suggested this isn’t likely. Despite these uncertainties, *The Batman: Part II* promises to be another exciting chapter in the Batman’s crime-fighting story.
