The hype for The Batman Part II has never been higher since the fantastic reception of The Penguin, but it looks like Matt Reeves fans will have to wait for another year longer than anticipated.
According to Variety, The Batman Part II, which was expected to come out in 2026, has been delayed for another year; which means that it’s now expected to hi theatres on October 1, 2027.
It’s not clear exactly why the delay is happening, but some fans are guessing that it could have something to do with Battinson’s connection to the DCU. DC Studios co-head James Gunn has been open about wanting this Batman to be part of the official canon, but Matt Reeves had been adamant that this universe works well by itself.
Some are guessing that either Reeves is taking the extra time to rework The Batman Part II to fit into the world of the DCU, or—my personal preference—he’s actually developing Part II and III of The Batman, and they’re planning on shooting the movies back to back.
This was how Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean were made, and so far they’ve been very lucrative properties in the box office.
With The Batman getting delayed again, fans are admittedly frustrated that they’ll have to wait even longer for the return of Battinson. If anything, it’s a testament to how many people loved Reeves take.

Who knows, maybe we’ll get that Clayface movie and Penguin Season 2 during the wait. Hopefully DCU makes an update soon.
The Batman Part II is now gearing up to release on Oct. 1, 2027.
