7 Aug
Summary
- 'The Batman' sequel confirmed at CinemaCon in April 2022
- Pattinson and director Reeves returning for the follow-up
- Sequel delayed multiple times, now set for October 2027 release

In April 2022, DC Studios confirmed that a sequel to the 2022 hit film 'The Batman' is in the works, with both lead actor Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves set to return. The announcement came during CinemaCon, the annual convention for movie theater owners.
However, the sequel has since been subjected to several delays. As of August 2025, the movie is now scheduled to hit theaters in October 2027, much to the disappointment of eager fans. In a March 2025 interview, Pattinson joked that he will be playing an "old Batman" by the time the sequel is released, given the extended production timeline.
Despite the postponements, DC Studios remains committed to the project, praising the "unified creative vision" of co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. The studio has described the DC universe of characters as one of its "most valuable assets in entertainment," signaling high expectations for the Batman sequel.
