Robert Pattinson just gave Batman fans something to get excited about! The actor, who will be donning the cape and cowl once again for The Batman 2, revealed that he finally knows what the sequel is all about. While promoting his upcoming film Mickey17, Pattinson shared this update, offering a glimmer of hope after months of uncertainty surrounding the project.
In an interview with ExtraTV, he said, “Matt is a very careful writer, but I finally now know what it’s about. It’s very cool and I’m very excited.” While he didn’t spill any plot details, just knowing that he’s been filled in suggests that things are moving forward behind the scenes.
Fans have been growing impatient as the sequel, directed by Matt Reeves, has faced multiple delays. Production has been pushed back several times, and while filming is now expected to begin in 2025, Warner Bros. and DC Studios haven’t officially confirmed the timeline. Some insiders believe these delays might be due to Reeves focusing on expanding his Batman universe—particularly with The Penguin spinoff series.
Speaking of The Penguin, the show, which follows Colin Farrell’s take on the Gotham crime lord Oz Cobb, premiered on Max in September 2024 and was a massive hit. Farrell’s performance was so impressive that he won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film. The series itself also snagged three Golden Globe nominations. Originally planned as a one-off limited series, its popularity has sparked discussions about a possible second season.
Some speculate that Reeves’ commitment to fleshing out this gritty Gotham world—including The Penguin—may have contributed to the delays in The Batman 2. But with Pattinson confirming he now knows the sequel’s story, it likely means the script is either complete or very close to being finalized.
So while there’s still no firm release date, fans can take comfort in knowing that The Batman 2 is still very much in the works—and hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long for more details.
