'Matt's Slow': James Gunn Updates on The Batman Part II
It was 2022 when Matt Reeves' The Batman came out in theaters, and everyone is waiting for the sequel, but it's unfortunately getting constantly delayed.
With some fans convinced that the DCU may have cancelled The Batman Part II , DCU co-head James Gunn has confirmed that the movie isn't scrapped, but they're just waiting on the script. In a recent talk with Rolling Stone, Gunn confirmed, ' We don't have a script. Matt's slow. Let him take his time. Let him do what he's doing. God, people are mean. Let him do his thing, man.'
We don't know exactly what is taking Reeves so long with the script, but some are speculating that he's actually been approved for two more movies, and he's going to be shooting The Batman Part II and Part III back-to-back. With the Penguin series being so positively received, it wouldn't be surprising if DC decided to go all-in on this version of the Dark Knight and just have Reeves release two movies within a year of each other—like they did with the Wicked films and the last two Avengers movies.
Besides the Reeves-verse, there is also the case of the DCU Batman who is going to be sharing a world with Gunn's Superman . So far, the only thing we know about him is that he's going to be coming with a Bat-family, but no actor has been attached, and the script is still being worked on by Gunn and a separate writer.
The Batman: Part II is expected to come to cinemas on Oct. 1, 2027.
