The Batman: Part II, featuring Robert Pattinson’s return as the Dark Knight, is officially entering production in spring 2026 at Warner Bros., following the completion of its screenplay in June 2025. Directed by Matt Reeves, this highly anticipated sequel is now scheduled for release on October 1, 2027 as part of the DC Elseworlds label.
Alongside Pattinson, key cast members—Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, and Jeffrey Wright—are confirmed to reprise their iconic roles, maintaining continuity with the first installment and its spin-off, The Penguin. Pre-production is already underway, with creative departments and casting efforts ramping up ahead of principal photography.
Despite earlier release targets being set for 2025 and then 2026, the film encountered delays due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes and the team’s commitment to perfecting the script. These postponements underscore the studio’s prioritization of quality storytelling over rushed production.
Now firmly embedded in Warner Bros.’ broader DC cinematic strategy, The Batman: Part II is poised to continue the gritty, noir‑infused saga of Pattinson’s Batman, setting a strong tone for the franchise’s future.
