After long wait Matt Reeves confirms finishing script for The Batman 2 starring Robert Pattinson
After months of speculation and anticipation, The Batman: Part II has officially moved one giant step forward — the script is finished. The Batman II is scheduled to release in October 2027.
Filmmaker Matt Reeves took to social media to break the news, posting a black-and-white image of the script's cover featuring the iconic bat insignia. The photo, though deliberately blurred, shows the title The Batman: Part II. In the background, Matt and co-writer Mattson Tomlin can be seen sitting together. Matt captioned the post, 'Partners in Crime (Fighters).' Mattson later confirmed the script's completion on X, formerly Twitter.
The announcement comes just in time, as fans have been growing increasingly impatient online, flooding DC Studios co-chair James Gunn with questions. James had addressed the outcry in a recent interview. 'Listen, we're supposed to get a script in June. I hope that happens. We feel really good about it. Matt's excited. I talk to Matt all the time. I'm totally excited about it. So we can't wait to read the scripts, but we haven't read it yet, if that's your question,' he had said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
The filmmaker continued, 'People should get off Matt's nuts because it's like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That's just the way it is. He doesn't owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does.'
James also added that Matt wasn't paying much attention to the noise online. 'He's got a lot of other things happening, so I don't think he lets it affect him. He's fine. But I am irritated by people. I mean, it's just that thing people don't need to be entitled about. It's going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. And Matt's not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay,' he had said.
Meanwhile, last year, actor Robert Pattinson, who will reprise his role as the brooding caped crusader, had joked, 'I started out as young Batman and I'm going to be f*****g old Batman by the sequel.'

Shefali Jariwala death: Security guard recalls last sighting before sudden death
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 28 (ANI): The sudden passing of actress-model Shefali Jariwala at the age of 42 has left the entertainment industry in shock. Best known for her iconic role in the 2002 music video 'Kaanta Laga', Jariwala was last seen by her residential complex's security guard just hours before her reported death, making the news all the more difficult to believe for those who interacted with her. Shatrughan Mahato, a security guard at her Andheri apartment in Mumbai, recalled his final interaction with the actress, saying she appeared to be in a good mood that morning. 'I didn't see Shefali ji. Her car left, and I opened the gate at around 10:15 pm. I found out at 1 o'clock in the night about her death. I didn't believe that. Because I saw her in a good mood in the morning,' he said. 'She had a friend who came and showed me a photo on his mobile that Shefali ji has died. I said, I am not sure about this. I saw her the day before yesterday. Both husband and wife. She was a very good person,' Mahato shared. Jariwala was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital on Friday night, where doctors declared her dead upon arrival. While the exact cause of death remains unclear, initial reports suggest that she may have suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. The All Indian Cine Workers Association confirmed the news via social media, expressing their sorrow. 'Shefali Jariwala is no longer with us. Gone too soon at just 42 due to a sudden heart attack. It's hard to believe she's gone. May her soul rest in peace, and may God give strength to her family during this heartbreaking time,' the association wrote on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle. Mumbai Police have confirmed that Jariwala's body was found at her residence in the Andheri area. Authorities received the report at around 1 am, after which the body was transferred to Cooper Hospital for post-mortem. However, the exact cause of her death is still under investigation. 'Actress Shefali Jariwala has passed away at the age of 42. Her body was found at her residence in Andheri, Mumbai. Members of her family had reached the hospital late last night, and she was declared brought dead by doctors there. Mumbai Police received information around 1 a.m. last night. Postmortem is being done at Cooper Hospital. The cause of death is not yet clear,' a police source confirmed. Jariwala, who achieved fame with the chart-topping music video 'Kaanta Laga', went on to carve a niche for herself in Bollywood, appearing in films like 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' (2004), where she starred alongside Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Additionally, she became a household name through reality television, with notable appearances in Bigg Boss 13 (2019) and Nach Baliye (seasons 5 and 7), where she participated alongside her husband, actor Parag Tyagi. Apart from her career in entertainment, Jariwala was a vocal advocate for mental health awareness and women's empowerment. She openly discussed her personal struggles with epilepsy, using her platform to inspire others facing similar challenges. (ANI)
