I’m talking about Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel, which will continue the journey of Robert Pattinson’s titular vigilante. Unfortunately, it was just revealed that the film had been delayed again, as it shifted from a 2026 release date to one marked for 2027.

There's a very good reason why it will be nearly three years before we see The Batman Part II on the big screen, according to James Gunn.

Turns out you'll be waiting even longer for The Batman: Part 2, as the film has caught another year long delay.

Having previously been pushed back from 2025 to 2026, The Batman sequel has been delayed again and is now looking at a 2027 release date, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed. It still does not have an official title from Warner Bros.

The Batman 2 has once again been delayed by a year and will now be released in theaters on October 1, 2027. Matt Reeves' sequel to 2022's The Batman was originally set to arrive in theaters in October 2025 and was delayed by a year in March 2024 before this latest delay.

The Batman Part 2 went from being released in October of 2025 to a delay that could hurt the future of the franchise.
