One step closer to Batman: Matt Reeves completes script for The Batman 2

Matt Reeves has officially completed the script for The Batman 2, confirming the long-awaited sequel’s progress.

The director took to Instagram on Friday, sharing a photo of the script with co-writer Mattson Tomlin, announcing the milestone with the caption "Partners in Crime (Fighters)." While the first page of the script was blurred out, the image clearly featured the iconic Batman logo, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come.

The sequel to The Batman, which was initially announced in April 2022 after the success of Robert Pattinson's debut as the Dark Knight, has faced multiple delays. However, it is now set for release on October 1, 2027, marking over five years since the first film grossed more than $772 million at the box office.

The news comes just ahead of the launch of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe with Superman. Gunn recently addressed fan frustration over the delay of The Batman 2's script in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, urging fans to be patient with Reeves. "Let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs," Gunn said. He further emphasized that Reeves would not deliver the script until he was completely satisfied with it, reassuring fans that the wait would be worth it.

This announcement has sparked renewed excitement for the sequel, which promises to build on the success of its predecessor.
