After a prolonged wait, the latest update on The Batman: Part II has finally arrived. Director Matt Reeves has officially completed the screenplay, co‑authored with Mattson Tomlin marked by a teasing Instagram post captioned “Partners in Crime (Fighters)” and a blurred‑out shot of the front page bearing the bat emblem.
This milestone follows months of anticipation and varied speculation surrounding the sequel. Reeves, recognized for his patient, detail‑oriented style, alongside Tomlin, have ensured the script maintains the noir‑infused tone that made the 2022 film so compelling.
Only limited story details have been shared, but most expect the sequel to further examine Gotham’s corruption, Bruce Wayne’s ethical conflict, and the fallout from Riddler’s catastrophic finale. The Joker’s introduction courtesy of Barry Keoghan also leaves the door open for a deeper look into iconic rogues.
The original 2022 feature grossed over $772 million globally and introduced Robert Pattinson’s detective‑driven version of Batman. With the script now sealed, the project moves into pre‑production, and casting beyond Pattinson’s return is expected to ramp up.
