Fans of The Batman will have to wait even longer before Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight returns as the sequel to the 2022 movie has been pushed a year to 2027.
The Batman – Part II was originally scheduled to arrive in October 2025 before it was postponed to October 2026 earlier this year. Variety reports that the Matt Reeves-directed blockbuster has been delayed yet again, with Part II now rescheduled for release on October 1, 2027.
The sequel’s postponement was revealed via a release schedule shuffling by Warner Bros. that saw another Pattinson-starring movie, the sci-fi film Mickey 17, shift from April 2025 to March 2025, switching places with Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.
Taking The Batman – Part II’s October 2, 2026 spot is a new Alejandro G. Iñárritu-directed film starring Tom Cruise about “the most powerful man in the world” as he “embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.”
Thankfully, the Max series The Penguin — featuring Colin Farrell as the titular villain — helped bridge the five-year gap between Batman movies, with the actor slated to reprise the role in “five or six scenes” in the forthcoming sequel; a second season of the series has been discussed, Farrell later revealed, but it’s unclear if that would occur before or after Part II.
