DC Studios and The Batman social media channels have uploaded the official logo for “The Batman Part II” - which will be released next year and will once again be directed by Matt Reeves - with Robert Pattinson returning as Bruce Wayne/ Batman and continuing his crusade against crime in Gotham City.
The Batman Part II is slated for release on October next year.
It’s just a silhouette and a small cameo by all means, but Creature Commandos - DC Studios’ first animated feature set in the new DC Universe - just showcased the Batman himself! It’s not exactly the final look the Dark Knight will sport in the DC Universe, but James Gunn has acknowledged he exists - and it’s not the Robert Pattinson version from Matt Reeves’ The Batman Saga either.
Those who were looking forward to Robert Pattinson's return as Bruce Wayne/ Batman in Matt Reeves' "The Batman Saga" will have to be extra patient with the next movie's release, as the untitled sequel to 2022's "The Batman" has been delayed yet again - this time to October 2027 and due to work still being needed to finish the script for the follow-up.
On Threads, DC Studios head James Gunn confirmed and gave an explanation for the delay:
"Sure. Yes, it is true. The only reason for the delay is there isn’t a full script (those of you who follow me here probably know that already). Matt is committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write. Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films."
Recently the first spin-off series in "The Penguin" finished its first season run on Max, with Colin Farrell returning as Oswald Cobb/ The Penguin in a story set after the events of "The Batman" and explaining the origins of not only Oz but the various Gotham crime families like the Falcones and Maronis as well.
The world of Matt Reeves “The Batman” expands as the very first spin-off TV series set right after the events of that 3 hour superhero epic!
Returning to his iconic gangster role, Colin Farrell steps back into the role of “The Penguin” in his own Max series which explores Oz as he emerges out of the deceased Carmine Falcone’s shadow and makes his play to take out the remnants of the crime family and organization and become what he was born to be - his own boss and face of Gotham City.
Check out the trailer below:
Never underestimate him. The Penguin streams on Max this September!
With The Batman 2 delayed to October 2026, fans of Matt Reeves’ 2022 reboot of the Caped Crusader and his newly established world shouldn’t worry about a follow-up - as the long awaited “The Penguin” live-action TV series is coming on fall this year to Max and now has its first official teaser trailer released!
Check out the trailer below, with Colin Farrell reprising his role as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot!
The Penguin will start streaming on Max this fall!
Those looking forward to the return of Matt Reeves’ world of Gotham City and its vigilante defender will have to wait a little bit longer, as Deadline has broken the news that Warner Bros. has delayed the tentatively titled “The Batman 2” - moving its released date from October 2025 to October 2026.
The delay is said to be due to the aftereffects of the dual strike that hit Hollywood last year which caused several projects to be affected and pushed back. Matt Reeves of course is working on the sequel to the hit 2022 reboot that saw Robert Pattinson play Bruce Wayne and don the cape and cowl - and where he faced Paul Dano’s Riddler and had romantic tension and chemistry with Zoe Kravitz’s Selina Kyle/ Catwoman.
The Batman of course is a DC Elseworlds project and will not share the same shared universe as James Gunn’s DC Universe of films. While fans will have to wait a bit longer for Pattinson’s return as the Caped Crusader, there’s a consolation in the form of Max’s upcoming “The Penguin” TV series later this year - which is a spin-off series and where Colin Farrell reprises his role as Oswald Cobblepot.
Set to be released in 2024 as the next chapter in Matt Reeves' world of "The Batman", Warner Bros. Discovery, DC, and the newly named "Max" streaming service have released the very first look at "The Penguin" - the spin-off TV series with Colin Farrell reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot/ Penguin and set some time after the events of the epic 2022 detective noir superhero movie.
Check out the in-production featurette below showing some behind the scenes filming and scenes with Farell back as Oz - who is working his way to the top of the criminal underworld after the demise of his former employer, mob boss Carmine Falcone.
Two years after DC FanDome and giving the world its first look at Robert Pattinson as vengeance with the very first teaser trailer of “The Batman”, director Matt Reeves has officially penned a new “first look” deal with Warner Bros. for TV and film projects as reported by The Hollywood Reporter - meaning that development on The Batman sequel is moving forward as well as the “Penguin” series spin-off that sees Colin Farell back as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot.
The new deal comes after the success of the new Batman film - which was released last March and is a separate universe that is not connected to the DC Extended Universe. It also comes after the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, with Warner Bros. discovery CEO David Zaslev shelving a lot of unreleased projects like “Batgirl” and pledging a new “10-year plan” for DC Films that seeks to restructure their movies and make them better.
After earning more than $750 million in the worldwide box office and seeing more than 4.1 million viewers since its release on HBO Max as well as other digital platforms, a sequel to Matt Reeves' "The Batman" was inevitable... And that announcement was officially made on this year's CinemaCon as the Warner Bros. presentation saw the director appear and confirm that it is indeed happening!
Amidst a LOT of WB film news and footage shown at the show floor than includes Shazam: Fury of the Gods, Black Adam, The Flash Movie with Michael Keaton's Batman returning, and so much more, The Batman sequel news was among the first wave of announcements Warner got to share with the public and news sites like Deadline.
Robert Pattinson of course will be returning as this version of the Caped Crusader, but no other information or details were revealed as the sequel is still in the beginning stages of development. Naturally we can expect Zoe Kravitz's Selina Kyle, Jeffrey Wright's James Gordon, and Colin Farrell's Penguin to make appearances too, and possibly Paul Dano's The Riddler will return and maybe Barry Keoghan's Joker as well? Time will tell for sure.
Just as the film FINALLY makes its debut in the streaming and digital space, The Batman has now risen to a whopping $750 Million in the worldwide box office - making it one of the most successful movie outings of the Caped Crusader and giving it plenty of kick too for fans who enjoyed seeing it in theaters!
The film is also NOW AVAILABLE on HBO Max and Digital Platforms like iTunes and Amazon! If you have yet to watch it or just want to see it again - now you can! Watch Vengeance at the comfort of your own homes!
