Released in 2022, The Batman was a much-needed shot in the arm for recent Warner Bros. cinematic superhero films and fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the sequel.

A recent guest on the Team Deakins podcast [via SHH], director Matt Reeves briefly touched on what his aim is for the next installment.

"I’ve had so many wonderful collaborators to work with and when you find someone who you love working with, you just wanna … ‘Come on, please, let’s keep working together … How much farther can we push it', said Reeves.

"I’ve been talking to [The Batman cinematographer Greig Fraser] about — I’m trying to write the next movie now with my partner, and we’re doing this thing — and he’s, like, going, ‘Let’s just push it farther.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, that would be really exciting to do.”

Currently, The Batman – Part II is scheduled to be released on October 3, 2025, with principal photography slated to begin in Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England this November. 

There's heavy speculation that the sequel will focus on The Court of Owls, a shadowy society that has secretly controlled Gotham City for centuries. Fans should expect concrete news on the sequel to be officially released as we approach the start of principal photography this fall.
