The Batman Part 2 gets delayed again

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that this news about The Batman Part 2‘s delay feels like a level boss that just won’t quit. It’s not uncommon for a sequel to take its sweet time (looking at you, Alien and Terminator franchises), but the constant pushbacks are starting to feel like an endless loop in a video game – and I’m not talking about the fun kind of endless loops!

The Batman Part 2 has been delayed by a year once again.

Warner Bros Discovery has revealed that the movie will hit theaters on October 1st, 2027, marking a one-year shift from its initial release date in October 2025. This rescheduling follows an earlier delay of a full year, which occurred within just ten months, making it the second such significant postponement within that time frame.

According to reports, the delay in the release of the movie is because director Matt Reeves is still fine-tuning the script, and as of now, it doesn’t have a title yet. It’s anticipated that production will commence during the third quarter of 2025 (July through September).

James Gunn, overseeing the freshly linked DC Universe (excluding “The Batman”), expressed his viewpoint on Twitter that he considered the delay to be relatively insignificant.

He noted that it’s quite normal for sequels to have a gap of five years or more, citing examples like “Alien” and “Aliens” which were seven years apart, as well as “The Incredibles,” with a fourteen-year interval. Similarly, there was a seven-year gap between the first two “Terminator” films, and a thirteen-year gap between the original and sequel “Avatar.” Furthermore, there was a thirty-six-year gap between the two “Top Gun” movies, and lastly, six years separated “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2” from Vol 3.

The previously scheduled release date for “The Batman Part 2” in October 2026 has been replaced with an unnamed movie featuring Alejandro González Iñárritu and Tom Cruise.

The release date of Robert Pattinson’s movie, the science-fiction doppelgänger drama “Mickey 17“, directed by Bong Joon-ho, has been moved up. Originally scheduled for April 18, it will now hit theaters on March 7. This change was made in favor of Michael B Jordan and Ryan Coogler’s movie “Sinners“.

The Batman Part 2 is set for October 1, 2027, while the first film is available on Netflix UK and Ireland. Spin-off show The Penguin is available via Sky and NOW. In America, both are available via Max.
