The Batman Part II Gets Official Filming Date From Warner Bros.
The Batman 2 finally has a filming date.
It’s been three years since Matt Reeves helmed The Batman, and development on the long-awaited sequel has been relatively slow. However, Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin recently turned in their script to DC heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. With the movie’s 2027 release date approaching, the start date for filming has been revealed.
When can we expect The Batman Part II to begin filming?
In a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery’s shareholders, the company announced that The Batman Part II will begin filming in the spring of 2026.
“The Batman II (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development,” reads the letter via Deadline.
The filming update comes days after the news that Reeves’ Batman sequel has entered pre-production and will shoot at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in London next year.
Details about The Batman 2 remain tightly under wraps. Robert Pattinson is confirmed to return as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Although unconfirmed by Reeves or Warner Bros., cast members from The Batman expected to return for the sequel include Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, and Colin Farrell as The Penguin.
The Batman followed Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne in his second year of crime-fighting as the Caped Crusader. Batman’s task is to find and stop a serial killer known as The Riddler (Paul Dano), who has been targeting Gotham’s most powerful and corrupt individuals.
Released in March 2022, The Batman received positive reviews and financial success, grossing over $772 million worldwide. Warner Bros. announced a sequel one month later.
Reeves’ Batman is part of DC Elseworlds, a section of DC that is separate from Gunn’s interconnected universe. Production has been delayed multiple times on the sequel. For now, The Batman 2 is dated for October 1, 2027.
