What's Going On With The Batman 2? (2025 Edition)

:0:1

Matt Reeves" The Batman - Part II looks increasingly unlikely to arrive anytime soon, but the DC Elseworlds movie is still receiving updates about its slow-moving production. Matt Reeves" The Batman turned Ben Affleck"s canceled DCEU Batman solo movie into an extremely popular and highly acclaimed, standalone Batman movie that"s totally independent from any cinematic universe. The Batman"s critical and commercial success opened the door for a direct sequel, and Matt Reeves devised plans not only for The Batman - Part II, but also for spinoffs and series. The Arkham Asylum and Gotham PD spinoff series were canceled only a couple of years later.
Two years after The Batman"s 2022 release, The Penguin revisited Matt Reeves" Gotham City through the eyes of Colin Farrell"s Penguin. The Penguin took the Golden Globes for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Limited Series. While Robert Pattinson"s Batman doesn"t appear in The Penguin, The Penguin finale teases the Dark Knight"s return with the closing image of the Bat-Signal illuminating the Gotham skyline. The Batman"s ending suggests Bruce Wayne will take a more hopeful approach to his Batman duties, and The Penguin"s ending almost guarantees Oz Cobb will return in The Batman - Part II, but when the sequel will hit theaters is yet to be confirmed.
What Robert Pattinson Doing Dune 3 Means For The Batman 2 Robert Pattinson's Dune 3 Role May Delay The Batman - Part II A Bit Further

Robert Pattinson is reportedly being eyed for a role in Denis Villeneuve"s Dune 3. Naturally, Pattinson"s possible Dune 3 casting has sparked speculation about The Batman - Part II"s release date, as The Batman - Part II has already been delayed multiple times. Pattinson is also co-starring with a star-studded cast in Christopher Nolan"s The Odyssey, which is filming in Q2 2025 and is set to release in 2026. Robert Pattinson"s commitments to Christopher Nolan"s The Odyssey and Denis Villeneuve"s Dune 3 might push The Batman - Part II a little further to accommodate Pattinson"s schedule — possibly half a year more.
