THE BATMAN II Production Start Date Confirmed By Franchise Producer Michael Uslan

There's a huge amount of excitement for The Batman II, and franchise producer Michael Uslan has now revealed exactly when cameras will begin rolling on Matt Reeves' highly anticipated sequel. Check it out!

The Batman was released in theaters last March, grossing over $770 million at the worldwide box office. The movie may not have found the same $1 billion success as Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and its sequel, The Dark Knight Rises, but the R-Rating meant the majority of younger moviegoers could not watch Matt Reeves' reboot on the big screen.

Regardless, the blockbuster was still a hit, and scored overwhelmingly positive reviews. Cameras are already rolling on an HBO Max TV series revolving around The Penguin, while The Batman II is moving forward at DC Studios, albeit as an "Elseworlds" project.

Now, franchise producer Michael Uslan has taken to Instagram to confirm the movie will start production on November 23. With The Penguin currently being shot in New York City, it's unclear whether The Batman II will also shoot there; the first movie was filmed primarily in Glasgow, Scotland, but many places have doubled for Gotham City over the years.

Reeves has described the upcoming follow-up as an "epic crime saga," though very little has been revealed beyond that.

The stage was set for The Joker to potentially take aim at the Caped Crusader should he escape the confines of Arkham Asylum, though Oz also looks set to be a major threat as he sets his sights on controlling Gotham's underworld.

The Riddler was a breath of fresh air last year, though, so we'd like to see another villain receive the spotlight who hasn't already starred in more movies than we can count. Mister Freeze or Poison Ivy, perhaps? We'll have to wait and see.

Robert Pattinson will reprise the role of Bruce Wayne, while Andy Serkis also recently confirmed he'll be back as Alfred.

The Batman II is currently set to be released in theaters on October 3, 2025.

Should get some casting announcements over the summer.

pitbull76 - 3/7/2023, 5:36 AM

@Se4M4NSt4ine - let's hope so who are some of the characters you would like to see?

Repian - 3/7/2023, 5:45 AM

@pitbull76 - I hope we see Harvey Dent, but not as Two-Face, but as a killer in the background. I imagine a crime scene that reveals two profiles. An organized killer and another disorganized killer. Harvey and the dark Harvey. Similar to a gemini killer.

A "teaser" before the future Two-Face.

pitbull76 - 3/7/2023, 5:53 AM

@Repian - I like that I would love to see hush maybe with a little spin to it.

pitbull76 - 3/7/2023, 5:34 AM

Can not wait I hope they do not Frick it up though the do not need to tinker to much with the formula they had for the first one.

2.5 more years ughh that's so far.. worth it!

The movie wasn't rated R, and the reason it didn't make a billion was because it had half the theatrical window other movies had.

Vision85 - 3/7/2023, 6:01 AM

Im more hype for this than any other film in production. I really want to avoid trailers so no cool moments are spoiled as the trailers had every cool moment from The Batman featured. Whether I can manage that is another matter.

JonAwesome - 3/7/2023, 6:13 AM

When was it rated R?

dragon316 - 3/7/2023, 7:44 AM

Riddler mr freeze and poison ivy have been in Batman movies they where not as good sequels

CorndogBurglar - 3/7/2023, 7:57 AM

@dragon316 - He didn't say villains that we've never seen. He said villains we haven't seen more times than we can count.

Humperdoo - 3/7/2023, 7:46 AM

Wonder if it’ll be as awful as the first? 3 hours of nothing.

ThorArms - 3/7/2023, 11:53 AM

@Humperdoo - I wonder if it will be as good as the first?

Tasmaniac - 3/7/2023, 8:12 AM

I wanna see Clayface and/or the Ventriloquist goddamn it. Hell, even Killer Croc would be better than seeing frickin Penguin, Joker or Two Face AGAIN.

Saga - 3/7/2023, 9:58 AM

Michael Uslan still involved with this??? Damn he has produces every movie since 89, Wonder what his contribution is nowadays; he seems like a genuine Big fan on interviews

DTor91 - 3/7/2023, 12:02 PM

“ but the R-Rating meant the majority of younger moviegoers could not watch Matt Reeves' reboot on the big screen.”

Not even pretending you know what you’re doing anymore, are you?

Deadinside - 3/9/2023, 10:34 AM

@DTor91 - I'm starting to think that he is fully aware that the movie was not R rated. He just sits back & laughs at the comments he receives.
I believe, you kids call it "trolling"...😉

However, I could be waaaaay off base here...🤷‍♂️

MotherGooseUPus - 3/7/2023, 12:10 PM

would love something along the lines of the animated movies like "Hush" or "The long Halloween". those were grounded and yet fantastic movies with some great villains that haven't been used

ObserverIO - 3/7/2023, 3:53 PM

Two Batman movies is strategic suicide.

Taonrey - 3/7/2023, 6:56 PM

This is the second time Josh has lied about the Batman being rated r, why lie about this? it’s not going to get you more clicks. Maybe I just don’t understand journalism.

sully - 3/7/2023, 9:21 PM

Hopefully the sequel will be more memorable than the first, which I found extremely lackluster.
