Director Matt Reeves has good news for all DC fans. The future of the highly anticipated ‘The Batman’ sequel now seems to have got a definite shape. Writer-director Matt Reeves shared a photo of the completed script after several delays.

Matt Reeves wraps writing for The Batman sequel


Matt Reeves recently revealed that he wrapped the writing for The Batman sequel starring Robert Pattinson. The film was announced three years ago.



“Partners in Crime (Fighters)”, Reeves wrote on Instagram with co-writer Mattson Tomlin. The first page of the script is blurred out, but there is very clearly a Batman logo at the top.

The wait on an update for The Batman sequel has been a long one. The film was originally announced in April 2022, a month after the original Robert Pattinson blockbuster soared into theaters. After several delays, the sequel is now scheduled for October 1, 2027, five and a half years after the original made more than $772 million at the global box office.

For the sequel, Robert Pattinson will reprise his role as the brooding caped crusader. Last year talking about the same, he had joked, “I started out as young Batman and I’m going to be f*****g old Batman by the sequel.”

James Gunn on The Batman delay

The news comes just a couple of weeks ahead of the big-screen debut of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe with ‘Superman’. Gunn addressed DC fans’ online outrage over ‘The Batman Part II’ script delay in a recent interview with ‘Entertainment Weekly’.

“Listen, we’re supposed to get a script in June. I hope that happens. We feel really good about it”, Gunn said. “People should get off Matt’s nuts because it’s like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That’s just the way it is. He doesn’t owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does”.

“I am irritated by people. I mean, it’s just that thing people don’t need to be entitled about. It’s going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. And Matt’s not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay”, he added.
