Matt Reeves finishes the script for 'The Batman' sequel

Director Matt Reeves confirms finishing The Batman sequel script, now set for 2027 release, as James Gunn defends creative process.

"Let Matt do things the way he does – James Gunn defends Reeves' script timeline"

Los Angeles, June 28

Director Matt Reeves has good news for all DC fans. The future of the highly anticipated ‘The Batman’ sequel now seems to have got a definite shape.

Writer-director Matt Reeves shared a photo of the completed script after several delays, reports ‘Variety’.

The script for the film has been completed. “Partners in Crime (Fighters)”, Reeves wrote on Instagram with co-writer Mattson Tomlin. The first page of the script is blurred out, but there is very clearly a Batman logo at the top.

As per ‘Variety’, it’s been a long wait for an update on ‘The Batman Part II’, which was originally announced in April 2022, a month after the original Robert Pattinson blockbuster soared into theaters. After several delays, the sequel is now scheduled for October 1, 2027, five and a half years after the original made more than $772 million at the global box office.

The news comes just a couple of weeks ahead of the big-screen debut of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe with ‘Superman’. Gunn addressed DC fans’ online outrage over ‘The Batman Part II’ script delay in a recent interview with ‘Entertainment Weekly’.

“Listen, we’re supposed to get a script in June. I hope that happens. We feel really good about it”, Gunn said. “People should get off Matt’s nuts because it’s like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That’s just the way it is. He doesn’t owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does”.

“I am irritated by people. I mean, it’s just that thing people don’t need to be entitled about. It’s going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. And Matt’s not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay”, he added.

As an Indian Batman fan, I really hope they explore more of Gotham's underworld this time. The first movie's crime thriller approach was refreshing compared to typical superhero films!

DC needs this win after so many flops. The Batman was the only recent film that matched Nolan's trilogy. But 5 years gap is too much - by 2027 superhero fatigue might set in completely 🤔

James Gunn is right - let the creators take their time. We Indians know the value of patience (looking at you, Bahubali 2). Quality over rushed content any day!

While I'm excited, I hope they don't make it too dark like the first one. Indian audiences also enjoy some lighter moments - even in serious films we have comic relief characters!

The first movie released during COVID times in India with limited shows. Hope this sequel gets proper theatre release and promotions here. DC needs to compete with Marvel's India presence!
