The wait has been long after the film was first announced in April 2022. Since then, delays and rumors have kept fans in the dark. Now, the release is locked for October 1, 2027. That's more than five years after the original film.

Reeves did not dive into the details, but for now, the post would suffice. The photo gave no plot hints. Still, fans welcomed even a blurry glimpse of progress. For fans, this was confirmation that things are moving again. It also marks Tomlin's return to the writing team. He helped shape the story of the first film. Together, they are back to building the next chapter.

James Gunn finally addressed those concerns. In an Entertainment Weekly interview, he asked fans to be patient. 'Let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs,' he said. He also made it clear: Reeves doesn't owe fans anything. 'You like his movie because of Matt,' Gunn added. 'So let Matt do things the way he does.' Gunn's message was simple: creativity takes time. Trust the process. Will Robert Pattinson return as Batman? The first Batman movie was released in March 2022. Robert Pattinson brought a darker, more grounded version of Bruce Wayne. The film was praised for its style and tone. So far, there's no word on casting. Still, Pattinson is widely expected to return. Fans hope the core team stays together. The sequel won't connect to Gunn's new DC Universe. Instead, it will stay under DC's Elseworlds banner. That means it's separate from Superman and other new films. Reeves can continue to tell his story without any crossover pressure. It has been quiet for a long time. But now there's movement. The story is written. The vision is back on track. The road to 2027 is still long. But at least fans now know: Gotham will return. Reeves is behind the wheel again. FAQs 1. When is The Batman Part II releasing? The sequel is currently scheduled to hit theatres on October 1, 2027, five and a half years after the first film's release. 2. Is Robert Pattinson returning as Batman? While Robert Pattinson is expected to reprise his role, official casting details have not been confirmed yet. 3. Why was The Batman sequel delayed? Director Matt Reeves took time to finish the script. James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, also urged fans to be patient, saying Reeves should be allowed to work at his own pace.

Review – Green Lantern Dark #5: Castle of the Bat
Green Lantern Dark #5 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: This continues to be one of the most intriguing new Elseworlds in a while, not just for its characters and worldbuilding but for its stunning art style. 'Something Is Killing the Children' artist Werther Dell'Edera is very comfortable with working with cosmic horrors, so it's not a surprise that he manages to bring some truly terrifying creatures to life. This issue begins with a depiction of an ancient worm from beyond time and space that's coming for Earth – and it feels like something out of Lovecraftian myth in the best way. This is all the doing of the Witch Queen Demona, the main villain of the series – who is in thrall to the beast and is trying to feed him enough human energy to welcome him to Earth. And she's not just your standard mad sorcerer – she's the heir to Morgana Le Fay, as well as the daughter of one of the most unlikely heroes still hanging around the Tangent Universe. The world eater. Via DC Comics. That would be the Batwraith (not Batman anymore, interestingly), a cursed knight who betrayed Camelot and is now inhabiting a suit of armor. He's one of many characters who shares their dark story this issue, as the survivors led by Green Lantern make their way towards Demona's twisted and predatory town. An odd little found family has formed out of this group, and even Green Lantern herself is starting to warm up. This is the first time we see how the original Green Lantern wound up passing on her power and her curse to the new heroine – and what it does to the person. There's a very optimistic message at the end about how all burdens need to be carried, but not all need to be carried alone. With one issue left, I believe, this is setting up a compelling final showdown, and one where the world feels genuinely filled with haunted horrors around every corner.

James Gunn opens up about his favourite DC project which has "not been announced at all"
DC Studios co-CEO has many projects in the pipeline, with his 'Superman' releasing July 11, season 2 of 'Peacemaker' nearly wrapped for an August premiere, and the 'Lanterns' HBO series halfway through filming, reported Variety. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, Gunn is also working on a few TV and film projects, which he has not revealed yet. One project in particular, he kept very quiet because he didn't want anyone to steal the idea, Gunn said, "My favourite thing has not been announced at was one thing that I knew about from the very beginning, that when I pitched to David Zaslav what the DCU would be, I pitched to him, but we did not announce in that first meeting because I felt like it was too easy to rip off by another company. And so that's one of the main things. " Gunn said he'll "probably" direct one of his new mystery projects. "Well, I always leave saying I'm going to direct something till I'm actually done with the screenplay, and then I say, 'Yeah, I want to do this.' But it's probably what I will direct. Yeah, probably, to be totally realistic. Yes, probably," he said, reported Variety. The ace director shared that when a well-known actor pitched him a project, he told him he was looking for a "masterpiece." "I told it to one person who came in and pitched something that was an Elseworlds tale," he said. "It was a very, very, very famous movie actor. I said, 'It depends on how the screenplay comes it's a masterpiece, I'll make it, but it has to be a masterpiece.' And he is like, 'I don't know if it's a masterpiece.' He got all funny. He's still working on it, though. He is still trying to do it, so we'll see. Masterpiece might be pushing it, but it's got to be really great. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now " Gunn didn't just tease upcoming movies. He also mentioned another "favourite thing" that's a TV project. "Then there's another TV show that's my favourite thing in all of this, that is hopefully getting made soon," he said. "It's just my favourite thing. And then there's the s--! I don't know what I'm allowed to say or not say, but there are a couple of other movies that are being written, one of which is in pretty good shape, another which is kind of closer to the start, but we feel positive about. And then there's a thing I'm writing, which I think it's okay. ... So what will be the next thing after 'Clayface' is not 100 per cent certain, but it's pretty certain," reported Variety.
