On December 27, Due date reported that after weeks of reports that a hold-up for The Batman – Part II was coming, WB has actually formally pressed the flick’s release go back up until October 1, 2027. This is the 2nd hold-up for director Matt Reeves’ Batman follow up. In March, the superhero follow up was postponed from October 2025 to October 2026. And now, it’s been postponed once again.
When it comes to the several hold-ups, IO9 reports it’s heard that director and co-writer Reeves is simply being truly mindful and protective over the script and the follow up’s story. The outlet declares the director does not wish to move on with The Batman – Part II up until he is truly delighted with the script.
While today’s news of a hold-up is frustrating for fans who have actually currently been waiting a couple of years, it wasn’t really unexpected. We had not heard much about the brand-new motion picture beyond the hold-up from 2025 to 2026 previously this year. And when the just recently revealed Clayface film– including among Batman’s popular villians– was offered a release date simply a couple of weeks before The Batman 2‘s prepared October 2026 opening, it appeared like something would need to alter. And now it has, with Pattinson and Reeves’ follow up moving into 2027.
In the meantime, previously this year WB launched the extremely well-known Penguin spin-off series on Max. That series offers us a glance of The Batman‘s gritty and grounded corner of the DC universe and, in the meantime, it’s all fans will get up until 2027.
