The Batman: Part 2 Script Expected by Memorial Day, Sequel on Track for 2026

The production of The Batman: Part 2 has been delayed to 2026 primarily due to the absence of a final script, but recent reports indicate promising progress as Matt Reeves has been submitting pages over the past six months and the full draft is expected by Memorial Day. DC executives James Gunn and Peter Safran have expressed strong confidence in Reeves’ vision despite the delay, emphasizing that the project will only ramp up once the script is complete. Meanwhile, in the comic book realm, the latest Batman-related stories continue to engage fans, with "Batman and Robin: Year One #7" previewed as it prepares for release, featuring the Dynamic Duo facing escalating threats. Additionally, the "Batman: Dark Patterns" series, though overlooked in Eisner Award nominations, has received praise for its compelling storytelling and artistic innovation, particularly highlighting the emotional depth of characters like Arnold Wesker. These developments illustrate the ongoing vitality and evolving narratives within the Batman franchise across multiple media.
