A few months ago, Warner Bros. announced that the release date for Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II was pushed back a whole year, and it’s now set to hit theaters on October 2, 2026.
We’ve got a new report to share regarding the film’s production saying the next two sequels for The Batman will shoot back-to-back next year in 2025.
This latest rumor was shared by inside scooper @MyTimeToShineH, and I hope it’s true. This would mean we won’t have to wait as long between sequels. While we wait for the next film, though, we do have The Penguin series to keep fans entertained.
It’s also been reported that the story for the sequel will be at least partially based on Geoff Johns’ Batman: Earth One. The first film took a certain amount of inspiration from Vol. 1, so I assume that means the sequel would be more influenced by Volumes 2 and 3.
Batman: Earth One is set in an alternate universe where Bruce Wayne is struggling to find his purpose as Gotham City’s protector. With the help of Alfred Pennyworth, a former SAS operative, Bruce embarks on his journey to confront both familiar and new villains along the way.
The story explores the psychology of Batman as he seeks justice in Gotham. Hush is also said to be one of the big villains in the movie.
The movie stars Robert Pattinson as Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Andy Serkis as Alfred, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, and Colin Farrell as Penguin.
