As a die-hard Batman fan who’s been through the rollercoaster of anticipation and disappointment more times than I can count, the news about yet another delay for The Batman Part II feels like a punch to the gut. It’s not just the wait; it’s the uncertainty that comes with it. Four years ago, we were all excited about the first film, and now here we are, still waiting.
The patience of Batman fans continues to be tested.
Today, it was confirmed that the release of Matt Reeves’s “The Batman Part II,” initially scheduled for October 2026, has been pushed back to October 2027. This means there will be almost a six-year interval between the first film and its follow-up.
James Gunn, a key figure at DC Studios as Co-Chairman and the mastermind behind the DC Universe, frequently shares updates via Threads. Following the announcement of the project’s delay, he provided additional insights on the matter.
Indeed, you’re correct. The primary cause of the delay lies in the fact that we don’t have a completed screenplay yet (which regular followers here might be aware of). Matt is dedicated to creating the finest film possible, and it’s hard to predict precisely how long a script will take to finish. Once the script is done, there’s approximately a two-year span for pre-production, filming, and post-production on large-scale productions.

It Makes Sense Why Part II Got Delayed, But It Still Feels Bad
As an ardent fan, I’m eagerly anticipating the production of Part II, initially planned for summer 2025. However, director Gunn’s two-year window seems to rule out a 2026 release. Therefore, shifting the date to October 2027 provides them ample time to ensure a spectacular outcome.
It’s disheartening to learn that, despite starting production for The Batman in 2020, there appears to have been little progress on the script over the past four years. Given that Robert Pattinson signed up for a multi-picture deal when he joined the project, one would expect some progress, even if slow. However, during this time, Reeves also worked on The Penguin. As a fan, the long waits can be quite grueling and seem to be a common occurrence in TV and film production these days.
2026 was anticipated to be a monumental year for cinema, with “The Batman Part II”, Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey”, and Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Messiah” all set for release that year. However, the excitement of these three contenders vying for Oscar awards was short-lived, lasting less than a week.
