The Batman: Part 2 Update Is Surprisingly Good News (Finally)

by


Learning that The Batman: Part 2 wouldn’t meet its initial 2025 release date and instead was pushed back to 2026 was really disheartening for fans. Since then, everyone has been eagerly anticipating updates about the movie and the completion of the script. Fortunately, there’s some positive news on the horizon! According to a recent report by The Wrap, someone close to the project revealed that director Reeves has been writing script pages for over half a year now. Excitingly, it’s expected that the first complete draft of the script will be handed in by Memorial Day, which is less than two weeks away!

It’s terrific news! The primary reason for the delay in starting production on The Batman: Part 2 was the lack of a completed script. In previous conversations, James Gunn and Peter Safran have stated that they don’t initiate full-scale production until the final script is ready, but this hasn’t affected their confidence in the project.

At a press gathering in Washington D.C., the team expressed their strong belief in Matt Reeves’ vision for The Batman sequel, stating, “James and I are big fans of Matt Reeves’ plan for The Batman Part II. We’re just as excited about this movie as you are.” Despite not having received a complete script yet, they shared that what they’ve read so far has been quite promising.

As a devoted fan, I’m sharing some exciting news straight from the source – Gunn himself confirmed it on Threads. The hold-up is simply because we don’t have a completed script yet (which, if you follow me here, you might already know). Matt Reeves is utterly dedicated to crafting the finest film possible, and let’s face it, nobody can predict exactly how long a script will take to perfect. Once the script is finished, we’re looking at approximately two years for pre-production, filming, and post-production on big productions.

If the initial script for The Batman: Part 2 is submitted around Memorial Day or nearby dates, it could potentially speed up the production process, assuming there aren’t numerous revisions causing delays. This would be the first draft, but let’s hope that no major issues arise during its development.

As a fervent supporter, I can confirm there’s still plenty of intrigue surrounding The Batman sequel, but let me share what we do know for certain. Robert Pattinson and Andy Serkis have already secured their roles in the movie, and they’ve both expressed that they’re well-versed in the storyline and its intended direction. Moreover, Pattinson has hinted that filming could begin towards the end of this year, which would be significantly facilitated if the script were delivered as soon as this month.

As I pen this down, Robert Pattinson finds himself immersed in the world of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, a fact that doesn’t seem to hinder his involvement in The Batman’s production. Colin Farrell, Zoe Kravitz, and Jeffrey Wright, it appears, are stepping back from their roles, though the enigma deepens as we ponder over the villains who will make an appearance in this sequel. The most intriguing question mark right now hangs above Barry Keoghan’s Joker character, a role that was hinted at in the cut scenes of the first film.
