The Batman: Part II Gets Major Script Update as James Gunn Supports Matt Reeves

The Batman Part II received a major update today, with the film’s release date window and script status getting a bit clearer.

What is the new The Batman Part II update?

According to a new report from Puck, the long-awaited script for The Batman Part II is set to be delivered by Matt Reeves on Monday. With the script turned in, a source tells Puck that the plan is still to film the movie in January after Robert Pattinson wraps up Dune 3, which would allow Warner Bros. to keep the 2027 release date it recently set.

The development of The Batman Part II has been a long one. The original film released three years ago in 2022 and was a massive hit. Starring Pattinson as the titular hero, the film made over $770 million at the box office.

Following its release, a spin-off series, The Penguin, was released starring Colin Farrell, which garnered equally critical praise.

Much of what we can expect from The Batman Part II remains clouded in mystery. Speaking to Rolling Stone in a recent interview, James Gunn was asked if there was still a “non-zero” chance that Matt Reeves’ Batman franchise will one day be in the DC Universe. Gunn revealed that the chances of it are “not likely,” but wouldn’t say for sure whether it would never appear.

Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell are among the actors expected to return for The Batman Part II, reprising their respective roles as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Alfred Pennyworth, and Oz Cobb/Penguin from The Batman. Reeves has not disclosed who Pattinson’s Caped Crusader will be facing off against in the sequel, although everyone from Two-Face and Clayface to Hush and the Court of Owls has been rumored.
