The character of Batman has always been very near and dear to comic book fans, and after so many iterations of the beloved character in films, we got arguably the best one yet in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film The Batman. Reeves’ version of Batman has to be one of the darkest and true to life characters out of any past films. In the 2022 film, we saw the caped crusader actually doing what he was most famous for his brilliant deductive and investigating skills which gave him the name of “world’s best detective.” The neo-noir detective thriller was loved by critics and audiences alike holding an impressive 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Batman also brought back some of the most beloved Batman villains out of the comics including the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Riddler (Paul Dano), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and the Joker (Barry Keoghan). While the role of Batman aka Bruce Wayne was played by Robert Pattinson.

There have been many shake-ups at DC Studios as Warner Bros. was acquired by Discovery, and the new CEO David Zaslav scrapped the Batgirl movie. After hearing the news of many cancellations the fans started wondering if they would even get a sequel to The Batman, which was already greenlit. But all of the worries were put to rest by the new Co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn in a video release on January 31, 2023, which laid out Gunn and Peter Safran‘s plan for the studio going forward and thankfully their plan included The Batman, but that doesn’t mean that Reeves’ version of The Batman will be folded into the DCEU as Gunn has told the fans that they will keep this world separate from the interconnected universe they are building.

The Batman: Part II – When Is It Coming Out?

The Batman: Part II is currently all set to release in theaters on October 3, 2025. But this date could be changed if any unforeseen circumstances arise or the studio heads change their minds. While there is a lot of time before the sequel comes out but that doesn’t mean there is nothing to watch for Reeves’ The Batman fans because currently there is a Penguin spin-off series scheduled to release on the newly branded Max streaming service in 2024.

Pattinson will obviously be returning to the titular role. But there is some doubt on whether Zoë Kravitz‘s Catwoman will return because of how she left in the first film. Other returning characters could be Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Penguin (Colin Farrell), Riddler (Paul Dano), and the Joker (Barry Keoghan).

While there is not much revealed in terms of the plot for the upcoming sequel. The title of the film does suggest that it will continue the first film’s story, which could mean that we will see Batman dealing with the fact that his parents were indirectly involved in the death of a journalist. We could also see Gotham coming out of all the harm that the Riddler caused in the first movie. We will also see Batman trying to give hope to the citizens of Gotham, instead of just being a fearful man to Gotham’s criminals.

In terms of who will be the villain in the upcoming sequel, there is no way of knowing who will play the main antagonist in The Batman: Part II. But there is a possibility that we could see many of Batman’s beloved foes on screen just like in the first film. Reeves has also teased the fans about a Scarecrow and Clayface spin-off that he is working on. So, they could very well show up in the upcoming film.
