James Gunn Explains The Batman Part II Delay to 2027
Los Angeles, USA, June 21, 2025 – DC Studios CEO James Gunn has spoken about the delay of The Batman Part II, the sequel to Robert Pattinson’s dark Batman tale. The film, once set for 2026, will now hit theaters in October 2027 as director Matt Reeves works to perfect the script. Here’s the story.
Why the Wait
The delay has clear reasons:
- Gunn said the script isn’t finished, and Reeves wants it to be the best it can be.
- Writing a sequel to the 2022 hit takes time to get right.
- A fan said, “I’d rather wait for a great film than rush a bad one.”
Patience is key.
What’s Happening
The project is evolving:
- Reeves is crafting a gritty, standalone story outside Gunn’s DC Universe.
- Some fans worried the film was canceled, but Gunn insists it’s moving forward.
- An X post read, “Reeves needs time to keep that dark Gotham vibe.”
The vision holds strong.
Bigger Picture
The delay affects DC plans:
- Gunn’s DC Universe, starting with Superman in July 2025, focuses on connected stories.
- A separate Batman film, The Brave and the Bold, is also in the works, but it’s years away.
- A moviegoer noted, “Two Batmans sound confusing, but I trust Gunn.”
DC’s future is shifting.
Fan Feelings
Fans have mixed thoughts:
- Many support Reeves taking time to deliver a strong sequel.
- Others fear DC’s focus on its new universe might overshadow The Batman.
- An X user wrote, “Just let Reeves do his thing—don’t mess with Gotham.”
The buzz is loud.
What’s Next
More news is coming:
