While the delay may have caused some to speculate about Matt Reeves’ direction, Robert Pattinson seems confident that the creative vision is well on its way and he’s just as eager as the fans to see it come to life on the big screen. The long-awaited sequel to The Batman has had its fair share of delays and it seems we’ll have to wait even longer to see Robert Pattinson back in the Batcave. The latest news has confirmed that the film won’t be hitting theatres until October 1, 2027, a whole year later than originally planned.
Fans were left wondering about the reason for the delay, with DC Studios co-head James Gunn explaining on social media that it all comes down to the script still being a work in progress. But fear not, as it looks like Matt Reeves has finally cracked the story. Pattinson, who stars as the caped crusader, recently shed some light on the situation, teasing that he knows exactly what’s in store for the next chapter of Gotham’s Dark Knight.
“Matt is a very careful writer," Pattinson remarked with a chuckle, before adding, “But I finally now know what it’s about. It’s very cool and I’m really excited," in a recent interview with Extra TV. While the delay may have caused some to speculate about Reeves’ direction, Pattinson seems confident that the creative vision is well on its way and he’s just as eager as the fans to see it come to life on the big screen.
As for those persistent rumours about a possible crossover with the DCU’s The Brave and the Bold? It’s likely that we’ll see Pattinson’s Batman stick around, but how that fits into the broader DC Universe remains to be seen. The delay hasn’t been without its own mysteries. Some whispers have suggested that Reeves had personal matters that kept him from focusing on the script, with the director mentioning in January’s Golden Globes that he’d been dealing with “a lot of stuff going on in my life.
" However, he reassured fans that filming for the sequel will be underway this year, sharing his enthusiasm for getting the cast back together and welcoming fresh faces. “We’re going to be shooting this year and we’re really excited about it. We’re continuing the story, and we’re really excited to be making it.
Getting the band back together and bringing in new people, it’s just going to be great," Reeves shared during January’s Golden Globes interview, informs Comicbook. “What I’m really excited about is that we’re doing something that absolutely continues where the story left off, but with something that I hope people are really going to be surprised by," he added. While the specifics of the plot remain under wraps, a few intriguing ideas have been floated.
As per Comicbook, rumours hint that we may see some familiar villains, with names like Hush and Mr Freeze being mentioned, though there’s little confirmation. One thing that seems certain is that the sequel may take place in a chilling winter setting, adding a fresh layer of intrigue to Gotham’s grim streets..
