Matt Reeves Shares Photo of Script for ‘The Batman Part II'
It would seem Matt Reeves has finally delivered a script for 'The Batman Part II,' on time and as promised. The director shared a photo on Friday of himself seated with co-writer Mattson Tomlin (upcoming John Wick spinoff 'Caine') captioned 'Partners in Crime (Fighting),' along with a blurry image of a script with the Bat Signal logo on the cover. More from IndieWire Screen Talk with David Koepp on 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' and How to Build a Blockbuster Why 'M3GAN 2.0' Is More 'Terminator 2' Than 'Child's Play' Partners in Crime (Fighters) @mattsontomlin — Matt Reeves (@mattreevesLA) June 27, 2025 A rep for DC Studios did not respond to IndieWire's request for comment. But the timing of the photo matches the planned timeline that DC Studios head James Gunn previously outlined. Gunn said in an interview that fans need to 'get off Matt Reeves' nuts' amid some consistent questions about the status of the Robert Pattinson-led superhero sequel and said Reeves was expected to deliver the script by the end of this month. If all is good to go, the movie could begin shooting in London by January, as IndieWire previously reported. The movie is expected to hit theaters in 2027. Gunn had also defended Reeves and suggested that these things just take time. 'Well, I don't think Matt really pays attention to that stuff so much,' Gunn said. '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.' So there you have it. We have a script. 'The Batman Part II' had been delayed several times amid the regime change at DC Studios, and fans no doubt had questions and concerns after the success of spinoff 'The Penguin,' after seeing the fate of 'Batgirl,' or in knowing that 'The Batman' and its sequel would not be considered canon in the new DCU but would be part of the 'Elseworlds' banner. But fans can presumably put those fears to rest now. For some fanboys looking for some clues, Tomlin recently retweeted a page from the comic 'Batman: The Imposter #1,' in which Batman sheds a tear after realizing that Gotham for the first time in 54 years experienced a night completely without violent crime. 'The Batman Part II' is understandably a priority, though. The first film, which starred Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, made $772 million worldwide at the box office. The film also starred Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, John Turturro, Andy Serkis, Peter Sarsgaard, and Barry Keoghan in a cameo role as a prisoner who appeared to be the Joker.

Rebekah Del Rio, who sang 'Llorando' in David Lynch's 'Mulholland Drive,' dies at 57
Rebekah Del Rio, whose soulful performance of "Llorando" added new layers of poignancy to the David Lynch classic "Mulholland Drive," has died at 57. Del Rio died in her Los Angeles home Monday, June 23, according to the office of the city's medical examiner, who confirmed the news to USA TODAY Friday, June 27. Both the cause and manner of death were listed as deferred, meaning a deputy medical examiner completed an initial examination but required more studies and tests to make a final determination. The process could take several months. David Lynch, legendary director of 'Twin Peaks' and 'Blue Velvet,' dead at 78 An up-and-coming singer-songwriter, Del Rio was discovered by Lynch in the '90s after their shared agent organized an introduction. At that point, she had already recorded "Llorando," a Spanish-language version of Roy Orbison's "Crying." Lynch wrote the number into "Mulholland Drive," in a now-iconic scene that sees Del Rio in two-toned eyeshadow and a bedazzled tear, singing the heartbreaking anthem to lead stars Naomi Watts and Laura Harring, the sorrow echoing in an empty theater. "There were many takes. And with every take, I sang along, because I felt I had to produce that same feeling with the vibrato in my throat so the audience could see it," Del Rio told IndieWire in 2022. "I also wanted the beautiful girls in the balcony, Laura Harring and Naomi Watts, to experience it live. They were present while I was doing my scene, so I sang to them." Del Rio's music went on to be featured in several other Hollywood projects, including "Twin Peaks: The Return," another Lynch project, and the action movie "Sin City."
