Fans eagerly awaiting the sequel to The Batman are in for a lengthy wait, but a recent report sheds light on the upcoming production schedule. According to insider Jeff Sneider, principal photography for The Batman – Part II is set to commence in April 2025. This timeline provides director Matt Reeves and his team ample time to refine scripts and cast the film. However, don’t expect any official casting announcements until fall. Stay tuned for further updates as the sequel to the superhero hit takes shape.
As The Batman – Part II gears up for production, familiar faces are set to grace the screen once again. Robert Pattinson will don the cape and cowl as The Dark Knight, reprising his role from the 2022 hit. Additionally, Jeffrey Wright is expected to return as Jim Gordon, adding to the star-studded ensemble.
But the excitement doesn’t end there. Zoë Kravitz, Andy Serkis, and Paul Dano are all potential returnees, adding further depth to the sequel’s cast. Notably, Barry Keoghan’s Joker may take on a more prominent role following the tantalizing tease of alliances with the Court of Owls in the previous installment.
Amidst the buzz, rumours abound regarding new additions to the cast. Speculation suggests that Boyd Holbrook, known for his role in Logan, is in talks with Warner Bros. to portray Harvey Dent/Two-Face. As anticipation mounts, fans eagerly await official announcements and further developments on the casting front for The Batman – Part II.
The Batman’s Story Will Continue
Part II marks the continuation of the rebooted Batman film series, with its announcement made amidst fanfare at CinemaCon in 2022, just a month after the original movie’s debut. Initially set for an October 2025 theatrical release, Warner Bros. recently announced a shift in plans, pushing back the sequel’s premiere to October 2, 2026.
Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman films carve their own path within the DC cinematic landscape as standalone DC Elseworlds projects. This distinction separates them from the broader DC Universe continuity led by DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran.
As anticipation builds for the next chapter in this reimagined Batman saga, fans eagerly await further updates on the sequel’s development and its place within the expanding DC cinematic universe. Stay tuned for more updates as the journey continues.
The Batman became a critical and commercial success, kickstarting a planned trilogy by Reeves in his newly-established Bat-Verse. The film grossed over $772 million worldwide against a $200 million budget and holds a critical rating of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Batman also earned three Academy Award nominations.
Meanwhile, a spinoff series from The Batman, The Penguin, is nearing its debut on HBO’s streaming service Max. Starring Colin Farrell as the menacing Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot/Penguin, The Penguin has been described as an “incredibly dark” series by Farrell, recently debuting its first trailer. The Penguin is set one week following the events of The Batman.
The Batman – Part II opens in theatres on Oct. 2, 2026.
