‘The Batman: Part II' script completed, set for 2027 Oct release
In a much-anticipated development, Matt Reeves and Mattson Tomlin have officially completed the script for The Batman: Part II, marking a major milestone for the next chapter in DC's gritty reboot of the Dark Knight saga. The duo confirmed the news through a joint Instagram post featuring a blurred black-and-white image of the screenplay, subtly bearing the title and the iconic bat symbol — enough to send the internet into a frenzy. Reeves, who helmed 2022's The Batman, captioned the post: 'Partners in Crime (Fighters),' sparking speculation about the possible introduction of Robin, Batman's legendary sidekick who was notably absent from the first installment. Fans have long hoped for Robin's inclusion in this darker, more psychological universe, and the caption — paired with the image — seems to nod toward fresh character dynamics and a deeper exploration of the Batman mythos. The sequel, which was first announced in April 2022 following the original film's critical and commercial success, is slated for release on October 1, 2027. The Batman grossed more than $772 million globally, and Robert Pattinson's noir-driven portrayal of the Caped Crusader received widespread acclaim for its raw intensity and grounded tone. While plot details remain under wraps, expectations are soaring that Part II will continue exploring Gotham's decaying soul, its twisted morality, and possibly expand the rogues' gallery introduced in the first film. With memorable turns by Paul Dano's Riddler, Colin Farrell's Penguin, and Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman, the bar has been set high. The script completion signals that production is gearing up, and fans can now begin the countdown to what is shaping up to be one of the most significant superhero films of the next decade. Whether it's Robin's arrival or Gotham's further descent into madness, Batman's next chapter is officially in motion.

The Batman 2 Gets Long-Awaited Update From Matt Reeves
After months of rumors, Matt Reeves has taken to social media to share an update on that will no doubt have fans excited. In a recent post on X, Reeves shared a photo of the now-finished script for The Batman Part II. In the background, he can be seen sitting next to Mattson Tomlin, who worked on script revisions on the original film, and who Reeves calls his partner in crime in the post. The post comes after months of rumors and reports on when Reeves would eventually finish the script for the highly anticipated movie. With the script now done, production can move forward on the sequel to the 2022 film. Check out the post below: The development of The Batman Part II has been a long one. The original film was released three years ago in 2022 and was a massive hit. Starring Pattinson as the titular hero, the film made over $770 million at the box office. Much of what we can expect from The Batman Part II remains clouded in mystery. Likewise, its status in the larger DCU is also a mystery as of now. Speaking to Rolling Stone in a recent interview, James Gunn was asked if there was still a 'non-zero' chance that Matt Reeves' Batman franchise will one day be in the DC Universe. Gunn revealed that the chances of it are 'not likely,' but wouldn't say for sure whether it would never appear. Robert Pattinson, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell are among the actors expected to return for The Batman Part II, reprising their respective roles as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Alfred Pennyworth, and Oz Cobb/Penguin from The Batman. Reeves has not disclosed who Pattinson's Caped Crusader will be facing off against in the sequel, although everyone from Two-Face and Clayface to Hush and the Court of Owls has been rumored.
