Matt Reeves confirms Batman’s script: Part II is over

It was a long and winding road, but The Batman: Part II It is finally making progress in a very real and exciting way. Director Matt Reeves He confirmed that the script for the highly anticipated sequel was done.

He shared the news with a photo on X, who shows himself and the co-writer Mattson Tomlin On a sofa with the end -based screenplay resting on the table in front of them.

Reeves has subtitled the image, “partners in crime (fighters”. After some fans have expressed their frustration for the development cycle, this moment should be a small sigh of relief for them.

Since the sequel was announced in April 2022, The Batman: Part II He faced more delays. James GunnNow co-responsible for DC Studios, previously he had faced the concerns of the fans, explaining that the maintenance derived from the screenplay still in the processing. “Be patient,” he urged Reeves and his creative process. Now that patience is repaying.

The Batman: Part II It is currently scheduled for cinemas in October 2027. If everything remains on the track, the production should start next year, probably after Robert Pattinson compresses Dune: Messiah. Pattinson will come back like Bruce Wayne and we can probably expect Andy Serkis like Alfred e Colin FarrellThe penguin to re -emerge.

While Gunn described the film as “really important” for the future of DC, it exists outside the continuity of the main DCU under the “Elseworlds” label. This means that it can maintain its tone, the cast and the construction of the world without having to intertwine the next DCU projects such as The brave and the boldwhich will completely introduce a new Batman.

Gunn knows that the two versions will have to be distinguished and Reeves has more than shown that he can cut out something unique.

Now that the script is over, the next step is probably Gunn’s approval. We still don’t know who the new villain will be, but Reeves has made fun of something unexpected, someone who “surprising” fans.

Considering the chilling presence of Paul DanoRiddler in the first film, is a high bar to free. But Reeves showed with The Batman AND The penguin series that understands Gotham on a deep level.

There is still a long way to go, but the symbol of bats on a table, promising that this story will continue.
