‘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.

'If I could take that one back': Stephen Curry once shared rare regret about daughter Riley Curry
Image credit: Ayesha Curry/Instagram Stephen Curry was a new dad when he led the Golden State Warriors to victory in the NBA Finals in 2015. At the time, he wanted his two-year-old daughter Riley — now 12—to share in the joy of his success. He loved bringing her to post-game press conferences and letting her play around as he addressed the media from the podium. However, years later, the father of four admitted he regretted giving her the spotlight too soon and too much. Stephen Curry reflects on giving Riley the spotlight Reflecting on that joyous moment when he lifted the NBA Championship trophy in 2015, Curry also recalled the one thing he wishes had gone differently. He acknowledged that Riley shouldn't have been exposed to so much media attention at such a young age — especially when she wasn't fully aware of what was happening around her. In a 2019 interview with The Undefeated, Curry said, 'One thing I do technically regret in terms of how fast this all came is when I brought Riley on the podium. I've always wanted to share what I get to do, and all the experiences I have, with my family. I didn't know how much that would blow up and how much of a splash she [would make] on the scene.' He continued, 'If I could take that one back, I probably would, just because my goal is to give my kids the best chance at success and at seeing the world in the proper way. Trying to give our kids the best chance to be successful and have a normal life in terms of treating people the right way, having respect, not getting too big headed and feeling like everything's about them.' Like her father Stephen Curry, Riley also became a social media star in 2015 NBA fans may remember how Riley quickly became a social media darling, charming the world with her playful antics while sitting on her father's lap during those press conferences. One of her most viral moments was a hilarious bit at the podium where she made faces with her fingers and eyes — a clip that remains one of the most beloved videos from that championship run. Also Read: Stephen Curry's social media post hints at big things for Cooper Flagg Now 12 years old and nearly as tall as her father, Riley plays volleyball at her school. Her mother, Ayesha Curry, occasionally shares glimpses of her practice sessions on social media. Riley is the eldest of the Curry siblings, with a younger sister, Ryan (9), and two younger brothers, Canon (6) and Caius (1). Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.
