Matt Reeves has confirmed that The Batman Part 2 will begin filming in 2025. While attending the Golden Globes, Reeves shared with Deadline, “I can tell you that we’re gonna be shooting this year, and that we’re excited about it.” Although no specific start date for filming was provided, Reeves’ latest comment appears to have put an end to speculations over the sequel’s eventual release date following several delays to the start of production.
The Batman Part 2 has faced multiple delays since it was first announced in April 2022. Originally scheduled for October 2026, its release was pushed to October 1, 2027, due to script issues.

As it now stands, the sequel will arrive over five years after The Batman (2022). In his interview, Reeves hinted at narrative continuity from the first film while promising new twists.
