The Batman 2 Gets New Update From Director Matt Reeves

The Batman - Part II gets an exciting update. While James Gunn's DC Universe starts this year and will eventually feature a new Batman in The Brave and the Bold movie, Matt Reeves' The Batman universe is set to continue. The franchise exists under the DC Elseworlds brand, which features projects that are not canon to the DCU. After being delayed from 2025 to 2025, the new The Batman - Part II update should give fans a reason to be excited.

On Twitter, director Matt Reeves revealed that he is actively working on The Batman - Part II.

Reeves also commented that he took a short break due to The Batman's theatrical re-release, with the director talking to fans on Twitter. So far, there have been few updates regarding The Batman - Part II's cast and production, with no new actors announced besides comments from potential returning cast members. However, the end of the year and 2025 should bring plenty of updates for those waiting for the upcoming DC movie.

When The Batman - Part II Will Start Filming

The DC Movie's Production Start Has A Confirmed Window

While The Batman - Part II did not have a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, director Matt Reeves appeared to talk about The Batman spinoff series The Penguin. Reeves confirmed that Colin Farrell, who was unrecognizable as the villain in the first movie, would be returning as Oz Cobb in the sequel. The Penguin is said to bridge the gap between the two movies, showing how Carmine Falcone's death leaves a power vacuum in Gotham City.

Reeves also revealed when The Batman - Part II starts filming. The director did not specify which month would see the start of The Batman - Part II's production, but Reeves confirmed that the movie will start shooting in early 2025. Previously, a November 2023 filming start had been reported. However, due to delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, Reeves needed more time to craft The Batman - Part II's script. That process seems to be taking all of 2024, with the movie delayed from 2025 to 2026.

With The Batman - Part II filming set to start in early 2025, the final months of 2024 should bring many updates for fans of the franchise. Casting and story news are bound to come at any moment from now until the end of the year, revealing where The Batman sequel might be headed. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, The Batman - Part II seems to be on track to make its new release date.
