Robert Pattinson To Begin The Batman 2 Shooting On This Date
The Batman Part 2 will see Robert Pattinson reprising his role as Bruce Wayne, aka the iconic Dark Knight of Gotham.
Batman fans, did you hear? The makers of Batman: Part II just shared a big update on the upcoming superhero film. Featuring Robert Pattinson as the iconic Caped Crusader, the highly anticipated DC film is a sequel to the Matt Reeves-directed movie The Batman. It hit the theatres back in March 2022 and was a massive hit among the fans of the DC superhero, earning a massive $772 million at the worldwide box office.
Recently, in a letter that was received by Warner Bros. Discovery's shareholders, the makers announced that Batman: Part II is officially scheduled to begin shooting next year. As reported by Variety, ''The Batman II' (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development," a section of the letter read.
Reportedly, Batman: Part II has already entered the pre-production stage. The principal photography of the film is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2026, at Warner Bros. Studios located in London. While Robert Pattinson will return as Bruce Wayne, aka the Dark Knight of Gotham, Colin Farrell will also return as the antagonist, The Penguin. Moreover, Jeffrey Wright will once again be as Commissioner Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Barry Keoghan will reprise his role as the Joker in Batman 2.
Why Batman Part 2 Got Delayed?
Just like The Batman, its sequel also faced quite a number of delays, partly due to the changes at DC Studios when James Gunn took charge alongside Peter Safran. While the Superman director is busy streamlining the DC Universe, he did not stop Matt Reeves from continuing the story of Batman in the Elseworlds. This meant that Robert Pattinson's Batman won't be sharing the new DC Universe with David Corenswet's Superman.
What Is The Plot Of Batman 2?
Just weeks back, the director of the upcoming movie, Matt Reeves, revealed that the script for Batman 2 is now complete. But he refrained from divulging details on what the storyline would be. However, if reports are to be believed, the sequel to the 2022 film would revolve around Gotham's recovery from the flood, which was shown in the first instalment. There are chances that the plot could also be set after the events of the TV series The Penguin, which revolved around the origin of Oswald Cobblepot, who became one of the biggest criminals in Gotham. The Batman Part 2 is scheduled to hit the theatres in October 2027, over five years after the release of the first film.

Last Updated: While Khan Sir was getting Rakhi tied by all his sisters on stage, some girls called out asking about 'Bhabhi'. Khan Sir replied that Rakshabandhan is only for his sisters In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, Patna witnessed a unique celebration of Rakshabandhan orchestrated by the renowned educator Khan Sir. This year, over 15,000 girls came together to tie Rakhi to their beloved teacher, marking a significant rise in participation compared to previous years. Due to the overwhelming response, the event was held at the Sri Krishna Memorial Hall for the first time, a departure from the usual setting in Khan Sir's coaching centre. Khan Sir, known for his dedication to his students, arranged 156 different types of food items for the occasion, ensuring a festive atmosphere. The Rakhi-tying ceremony commenced at 10 am and continued until 1:30 pm, with Khan Sir sitting on stage as a long queue of girls awaited their turn. At one point, Khan Sir had so many Rakhis tied on his hands that they went numb. He even joked on the mic, asking to call a doctor because the blood had stopped flowing. But there was no real cause for concern, and the Rakhi-tying continued despite this. Local 18 spoke to several girls who praised Khan Sir. They said, 'Khan Sir is not just the best teacher but also like a brother. We feel safest in his classroom anywhere in Patna. Teaching us at such a low fee is a great gift." Some girls also said that on Rakshabandhan, they are receiving significant discounts on certain courses, which they consider a wonderful gift. Interestingly, Khan Sir does not have any biological sisters, yet he regards all his female students as his sisters and has been hosting Rakshabandhan celebrations since the beginning of his teaching career. Over time, the scale of the event has grown significantly, making Khan Sir a unique figure who receives thousands of Rakhis each year, embodying the spirit of brotherhood and dedication. view comments First Published: August 09, 2025, 17:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
