When is The Batman Part II coming out?
Officially, Batman Part II is slated for release on October 3, 2025. Unofficially, it may be very difficult for the film to shoot on that date. Warner Bros. Pictures announced the film’s October 2025 debut in January 2023, five months before a writers’ strike kicked off six months of labor disputes in Hollywood. The original plan was for Batman Part II start production in November 2023. That would allow him to easily set the 2025 date.
At the moment, Batman Part II has not begun production, nor have any new cast members been announced. There have been unofficial reports suggesting that the film will commence shooting in March 2024, but Warner Bros has yet to confirm or deny this. But the longer this movie is out of production, the less likely it is to hit theaters next year.
What is the plot of The Batman Part II?
It’s just too early to tell. There’s no confirmation on who the main villain will be or what’s going on outside of the ongoing development of Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne/Batman. Batman ended with Pattinson’s Dark Knight seen in a more heroic light by the people of Gotham City, so presumably the sequel will begin with that status quo.

Farrell also stars in Max’s spinoff series, Penguinwhich will chronicle Cobblepot’s rise to the top of Gotham’s criminal underworld.
Zoë Kravitz could return as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, but it’s also possible that Reeves will delay her return to give Bruce a new love interest. Barry Keoghan had brief cameos as the Joker Batman, which established his possible alliance with Paul Dan’s Riddler. However, neither Keoghan nor Dano have been confirmed for the sequel.
Is the trailer released for The Batman Part II?
No. In fact, we probably won’t see a trailer until mid-March 2025 until next year’s CinemaCon in April 2025 at the earliest. That is, assuming that Batman Part II may begin shooting in the near future and stick to the October 2025 release date. If the film slips to 2026, the trailer will likely be delayed as well.
