Last Friday, September 20, Director and visionary Matt Reeves offered a positive update: The script for the highly anticipated Batman: The Part 2 has officially been written. This means cameras are set to roll early next year, before the October 2026 release date.
It’s Only Begun
The WB filmmaker sat down with the Trade Entertainment Weekly. The interview yielded critical information about Reeves’ overarching vision for the Caped Crusader and his Rogue’s gallery. In the meantime, the first episode of The Penguin is now streaming on MAX. The latest DC Comics live-action series occurs a week after the first film’s events. Each project now falls under the umbrella and creative license of the newly titled “The Batman Epic Crime Saga.” One element the director revealed was his ability to adapt his version of Gotham to television’s streaming atmosphere:
“I always wanted to make sure that each of the movies that we did with Rob, that the central arc, the emotional arc of the story would be Batman and Bruce’s,” he said. “Then when I was talking to Warner Bros. about signing for TV, I said what will be exciting to me is to take characters [where] there’s not enough real estate in a movie to cover their story in full and to really dig into them.”
Reeves also confessed that HBO landed a voice about how the television structure and formula offer a solution to allocating character development to minor but still impactful characters, thus, in a way, what led to the green light of the Colin Farrell-led series. Even though the production could be considered a spin-off, better language could fall under the next chapter in the narrative unfolding.
Robert Pattinson Back in the Cowl
In addition, Reeves confirmed that there will be no Robert Pattinson cameo as either Batman or Bruce Wayne. This explanation proved truthful, but it left the door open as a never-say-die possibility.
“That’s not to say that there would never be an appearance by Batman or Bruce or something like that [on a future series],” he noted. “Lauren and I did speak: Do we want to find a way to get Rob to somehow be in this show? But that was an afterthought.”
The final reveal from the interview was that the script for ‘The Batman: Part 2’ has been officially written. The director then foreshadowed that the events would leave rumblings toward the next film. It seems DC and WB are highly invested in what Reeves is cooking up, but all fans can now wait and enjoy The Penguin as the series shifts to a primetime 9 p.m. EST slot on MAX, starting next Sunday, Sept 29th. Matt Reeves’ The Batman is currently streaming on MAX, and having seen the first episode of ‘The Penguin, ‘ it’s clear the world of Gotham will only get bigger from here on out.
