The follow-up to one of the highest-rated comic book movies of recent years just received a major update. Mattson Tomlin, the writer of The Batman Part 2, shared new details with Screen Rant about when filming for the sequel will start.
After James Gunn became the new creative head of DC, there was concern about the future of The Batman. However, Gunn assured fans that different versions of the same character could exist, and The Batman would continue.
It has been over two years since The Batman was released, and fans have been eagerly waiting for news about the sequel. Tomlin revealed, “It’s shooting next year. We’re gearing up, and I will say that the bar couldn’t be higher… Matt Reeves is like no other… and he’s really trying to make something that matters.”
Tomlin also praised Matt Reeves for his directing and writing skills. He mentioned that during their five years of working together, he has learned as much as he could from Reeves to benefit his own career.
Reeves, known for his work on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, has become a highly sought-after director. His success with The Batman demonstrated his talent.
The Batman has received high scores from critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, making the sequel one of the most eagerly awaited comic book movies in the coming years.
When will The Batman Part 2 be released?
Although The Batman was released over two years ago, The Batman Part 2 will not come out for over two more years. The film is planned for release on October 2, 2026, aligning with Tomlin’s schedule for starting filming next year.
Movies like The Batman and its sequel take many months to film, from the start of principal photography to the end of shooting.
Even though there is still a long wait before tickets for The Batman Part 2 will be available, the excitement for what Reeves and his team have in store for the sequel continues to grow.
The Batman Part 2 is currently set to hit theaters on October 2, 2026.
