Reeves shared a first look at The Batman - Part II on May 7, with production undergoing tests with the Batmobile. Through his update, it was confirmed that the 2027 entry will be taking place during the winter.

After The Batman movie ending in 2022, the franchise expanded to the small screen with Farrell's DC villain getting his own The Penguin series on HBO. The crime drama explored what happened to Oz after Gotham City was flooded, as he began to rebuild his power.

There have been endless speculations on what The Batman - Part II story will do with Pattinson's take on the DC icon. The franchise will exist under DC Studios' Elseworlds banner, as James Gunn's DC Universe will have its own Caped Crusader.

When ScreenRant's Liam Crowley spoke with Serkis in April 2026, the British actor praised how The Batman - Part II script is tackling new territory for Reeves' vision of the Dark Knight. Having worked with the filmmaker before on the rebooted Planet of the Apes franchise, stated how "the script and the story and the new story really does speak to Matt as a human being and what he feels about life. Rob and he got on brilliantly. And I can't say any more than that, but yeah, the relationship continues to be one of a very close, slightly at odds, but beautiful relationship."

The Batman - Part II is officially set to open on October 1, 2027.
