The Batman came out in 2022, but despite the success, it looks like fans will have to wait until 2027 to get the sequel. Surely this is frustrating for fans of Battinson, but you know who else wants the movie to come out earlier? Bruce Wayne himself, Robert Pattinson.
In a recent talk with Mickey 17 co-star Naomi Ackie (via Hero Magazine), Pattinson was asked on whether he’ll be working on The Batman Part II soon, and he jokingly replied, “I f***ing hope so… I started out as young Batman and I’m going to be f***ing old Batman by the sequel.”
For context, Pattinson is currently 38-years-old, and by the time The Batman Part II comes out in theaters, he would have crossed the middle-age threshold at 41-years-old. Compare that to Ben Affleck’s Batman who was in his mid-40s by the time he’s introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
We don’t know why development is taking so long with The Batman sequel, but some fans speculate that this is going to be a Pirates of the Caribbean situation where Reeves is going to be shooting Part II and Part III simultaneously—hence the very long development process.
It’s unclear what Reeves has cooking under the hood, but after the success of The Penguin, more people have come onboard this Batman’s ‘Epic Crime Saga’. Let’s just hope Reeves manages to keep the quality of the universe consistent after all these years.
The Batman Part II is set to hit theaters sometime in 2027. Catch Pattinson in Mickey 17 which releases March 6.
