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.'

I went there with the intention of becoming an Assistant Director, but that didn't work out. I couldn't even make a proper pitch. Then one of the ADs asked me if I played cricket.

And that was pretty helpful at that time," Varun told R Ashwin on a podcast. Varun Chakravarthy has been part of KKR since IPL 2020 season.

MS Dhoni trademarks 'Captain Cool'? Viral post sparks buzz; fans joke 'Get ready for nickname-based perfume, shampoo or even a movie'
MS Dhoni trademarks 'Captain Cool'? Viral post sparks buzz | Credit: X | @ewww_aditii Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the former India captain and World Cup winner, is also popular for his calm and composed personality, which is also reflected during his presence on the field. Due to these personality traits, MS Dhoni is also called 'Captain Cool' by fans. Well, in a surprising incident, the title 'Captain Cool' seems to have been patented in a viral post, so that no one could ever be called 'Captain Cool' in the Indian cricket arena. According to a viral post on X (formerly called Twitter), the former India captain applied for the trademark for the title on June 5th through Rithi Sports Management Pvt. Ltd.

After noticing the application being filed by the former cricketer, the cricket pundits have now speculated that it might be a strategic brand play to attract people and leverage the apparel business, digital and merchandise for MS Dhoni. The main goal is to officially claim the ownership of the nickname, which is now being widely used to refer Dhoni's composure, especially during high-pressure conditions in cricket. Additionally, according to News24, having a trademark helps sportspeople have a strong legal power to protect their name, logo, or brand.

Trademarks can also serve as a foundation for expanding into bigger ventures, including a clothing line or establishing a sports academy, helping to create a lasting legacy.
