Since The Batman: Part 2 is pretty far away after another delay, director Matt Reeves has assured everyone that production will continue soon (sort of).
Remember when The Batman: Part 2 was supposed to release this year? And then it was delayed until October 2026? And then delay it even further until October 2027? Wow, that makes October 2025 seem ridiculously optimistic now, huh? In any case, that obviously left many fans of the first with questions about when things will actually begin on the entire project. In June of last year, Alfred himself, Andy Serkis, said it was scheduled to begin filming in 2025, the year we’re in now (even if you don’t want to acknowledge the passage of time), and speaking to Deadline while he was At the Golden Globes, Reeves reaffirmed his intention to film this year.

“I can tell you that we are going to film this year and we are excited,” Reeves told the outlet. “We’re doing something that absolutely continues where the story comes from, but it’s something that I hope people will be surprised by.” The director also spoke to The Hollywood Reporter where he was asked about the reason for the delay, and the answer is still pretty simple: “Because we’re still finishing the script and there’s been so much going on. Next year is very much about getting started.” production and getting the film off the ground, and we’re very excited about it.
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn said as much when the second delay was announced, so this isn’t exactly a huge surprise, but at least it’s the most honest answer possible. Reeves was at the Golden Globes thanks to The Penguin’s nominations, and the show even scored a win, with star Colin Farrell taking home the award for best actor in a miniseries or television movie. Good for him!
