Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves’The Batman: Part 2is scheduled to begin filming at the end of 2022. AfterThe Batmanwas released, Warner Bros. did not immediately confirm a sequel. However, a sequel was eventually verified, and the production is moving forward with plenty of time until its release date.Christopher Nolan almost didn’t makeThe Dark KnightfollowingBatman Begins, so it was nerve-racking while waiting for Warner Bros. to announce the sequel toThe Batmanamid its merger with Discovery, as there was no telling what the new Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav would do. Fortunately,The Batman: Part 2is scheduled to release in 2025, paralleling the time betweenBatman BeginsandThe Dark Knight, which is not too long away, but not short enough for fans to worry about the sequel being rushed. At this point, multiple sources are stating whenThe Batman: Part 2will begin filming.RELATED:Colin Farrell Reveals The Penguin HBO Max Series Episode CountProduction WeeklyconfirmsThe Batman: Part 2will begin filming in November 2023.The Penguinis supposed to tie intoThe Batman: Part 2and was scheduled to start filming this month, with rumors of a cameo from Pattinson’s Batman. So, November would be enough time between now and then that attention could be given to each of these projects individually, especially with Reeves also producingThe Penguin.
Reeves gave an update last month onThe Batman: Part 2script in collaboration with Mattson Tomlin by expressing that they “were deep in it.” So if the screenplay is in its finishing stages, it could be speculated that it would be done sometime in the summer to prepare for a November production. This would allow the crew and editing team almost two years to finishThe Batman: Part 2before the October release date in 2025, giving them more than enough time to create an excellent film. Luckily, Reeves' Bat-verse will not have to deal with the complicated nature of the DCU reboot, asThe Batmanfranchise is self-contained underthe DC Elseworlds label.
With Production reportedly taking place in November, casting details should be on the horizon. While there are no current details on the story, it would make sense for Harvey Dent to replace the previous deceased District Attorney inThe PenguinorThe Batman: Part 2. Villains have been tossed around by the cast and director, such as Pattinson expressing his desire to see the Court of Owls and Condiment King orMatt Reeves wanting to adapt a grounded Mr. Freeze. The latter may be more likely if the production date is any indication.
The Batman: Part 2is scheduled to be released on August 04, 2025.
