The Batman: Part II is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Matt Reeves from a screenplay he wrote with Mattson Tomlin. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, it is the sequel to The Batman (2022). Robert Pattinson stars as Bruce Wayne / Batman alongside Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, and Charles Dance. Set during the winter, Batman investigates further corruption after the flooding of Gotham City. Warner Bros. Pictures will distribute the film, which Reeves also produces with Lynn Harris and Dylan Clark, alongside James Gunn and Peter Safran of DC Studios.
A sequel to The Batman was announced in April 2022, with Reeves and Pattinson set to return. DC Studios inherited the film later that year, but it remained separate from its main franchise, the DC Universe (DCU). Reeves meticulously wrote the script with Tomlin, his uncredited writing partner on The Batman, from late 2022 to June 2025. The lengthy writing process contributed to multiple production delays, which were also attributed to the effects of the 2023 Hollywood strikes and Reeves's personal issues. Part II focuses more on Batman's Bruce Wayne alter ego than previous Batman films due to its mystery storyline, which Reeves sought to elevate from the first film and keep secret during production, and is set up by the events of the spin-off television series The Penguin (2024). Pre-production commenced in August 2025, with some crew changes from the first film due to other commitments, particularly Erik Messerschmidt taking over as cinematographer. New cast members joined from December until May 2026, before filming started the following month, taking place primarily on soundstages at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, with location shooting in England and Scotland. Michael Giacchino is expected to return to compose the musical score.
The Batman: Part II is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on February 18, 2028, following several delays. A third film is planned to conclude the trilogy.
