The Batman Part 2 Expected to Begin Filming Spring 2026 Featuring Robert Pattinson, Robin Return Anticipated

The Batman Part 2 is set to begin filming in spring 2026 with a planned theatrical release on October 1, 2027. The sequel, directed by Matt Reeves and co-written with Mattson Tomlin, features Robert Pattinson returning as Batman and reportedly includes the character Robin, marking his first live-action appearance alongside Batman since 1997. The script is described as a "big swing" and "worth the wait," with DC Studios executives expressing strong approval. The film will continue exploring a darker, more complex Gotham, delving into themes like societal division and moral ambiguity, while retaining key cast members such as Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, and potentially Barry Keoghan as the Joker. Warner Bros. Discovery emphasizes quality storytelling, with James Gunn highlighting the importance of allowing Reeves the time needed to perfect the screenplay. The Batman Part 2 is part of a broader, ambitious 10-year plan for the DC Universe, which includes other upcoming projects like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Clayface.
