The Batman – Part II, the sequel to the 2022 movie directed by Matt Reeves and helmed by Robert Pattinson, is one of the most hotly anticipated films of the next few years. The second the original left cinemas, fans were obsessively talking about the sequel, imagining what the follow-up could be about. And this discussion has only grown more intense as the original film has received more and more critical praise, including director Matt Reeves winning a Saturn Award for his work on the project.
However, now that DC has announced its film plans for the next few years, we know a little more about this film, including when fans can expect to see it land in theaters.

Currently, little is known about The Batman – Part II’s plot. However, various people involved in the movie’s production have talked about characters or plot elements they would like to feature in future films in this series, with Robert Pattinson suggesting he wants his version of the caped crusader to fight The Court of Owls in the future. In other interviews, Matt Reeves has expressed a desire to bring Mr. Freeze into this version of the Batman universe.

Who is in The Batman – Part II?
So far, it’s been confirmed that Robert Pattinson has signed on for future movies under the cowl. It’s also been announced that Matt Reeves will return to direct the sequel. As for other characters, little is currently confirmed, but it stands to reason that most of the core cast from the previous movie will return, including Jeffrey Wright’s James Gordon and Andy Serkis’ Alfred Pennyworth.
We can likely expect Colin Farrell to return as The Penguin, as he’ll play the character in upcoming the HBO Max spin-off.
However, fans will have to wait for further announcements to learn about the rest of the movie’s cast.

During DC’s massive series of announcements regarding their new and upcoming movies, a release date was announced for The Batman – Part II.
According to DC, the film will release on Oct. 3, 2025. This means this Batman film will hit cinemas the same year the Superman movie will, something that Peter Safran noted, saying: “2025 is going to be a very big year for DC. Superman and Batman within the same year.”
