Matt Reeves’ sequel to The Batman, now titled The Batman – Part II — officially has a release date. The anticipated follow-up to the Robert Pattinson’s noir-drenched turn as the Caped Crusader will be out October 3, 2025.
The announcement was part of the reveal of Warner Bros. Discovery’s broader plan for the new DC Universe and its various side projects, more than one of which features Batman. In addition to announcing the release date, DCU architects James Gunn and Peter Safran also confirmed that The Batman will be a trilogy.
“Matt is working on [The Batman – Part II], which he thinks of as a Batman crime saga, which also includes the Penguin TV series,” Gunn explained. “And it is its own thing and he’s hard at work on that. He came in and pitched us some amazing, really cool stuff the other day. So our plan is for that to continue.”
“And Batman’s not a stepchild. I mean, it’s all under DC,” Safran added. “We are fully invested in the success of the Batman, just like we are everything else.”
Reeves had been reportedly interested in turning The Batman into a trilogy since at least 2019, having previously discussed his ideas for a full Batman arc. Earlier this month, the movies were confirmed to be separate from Gunn and Safran’s new DCU.
