The Batman will return… in 2028. Warner Bros has officially announced the brand new release date for The Batman: Part II – it’s now set to hit theaters February 2028 in two years from now. Filming just started recently and to celebrate the announcement & new date, director Matt Reeves posted a clip from a camera test featuring Robert Pattinson back in the cape & cowl & mask as The Batman. This is not a teaser, this is not a trailer, this isn’t even official footage – it’s just some footage they shot during a camera test to figure out the look & style & lighting. The Batman: Part II is shot by cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt (of Mank, Devotion, The Killer, Ferrari, The Dog Stars, The Adventures of Cliff Booth) taking over for Greig Fraser from the first film. It’s set in the snowy winter following the flooding of the first movie – other details are still under wraps. Aside from Pattinson returning as Bruce Wayne / Batman, the other confirmed cast so far: Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent, Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, Andy Serkis, & Jayme Lawson back as Bella Reál. I can’t wait to see an actual teaser eventually.
Set during the winter after the flooding of Gotham City from the first The Batman movie, Bruce Wayne / Batman (starring Robert Pattinson) investigates another case that further explores the corruption and division within the city. The Batman: Part II, also known as just The Batman 2, is once again directed by acclaimed American filmmaker Matt Reeves, the director of the movies The Pallbearer, Cloverfield, Let Me In, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, War for the Planet of the Apes, and the first The Batman movie. The screenplay is again by Matt Reeves and Mattson Tomlin (of Mother/Android, The Sea Beast, “Terminator Zero”). Based on characters from DC and Batman created by Bob Kane & Bill Finger. Produced by Dylan Clark, Matt Reeves, Lynn Harris, James Gunn, and Peter Safran. Made by DC Studios, 6th & Idaho, and Dylan Clark Productions. Warner Bros will debut Reeves’ The Batman: Part II sequel in theaters worldwide starting February 18th, 2028 a few years from now. Stay tuned for more updates. Who’s excited already?
