News The Batman: Part II The Batman Part II Will Skulk Into Theaters in 2028 After Release Date Delay The delay comes with new footage from Matt Reeves’ “camera test” By Molly Templeton | Published on July 15, 2026 Image: Warner Bros. Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Warner Bros. You think the break between seasons of Severance is bad? Consider the space between Batmans: Robert Pattinson stalked onto the screen as a moody Bruce Wayne back in 2022. And with a recent shift in the Warner Bros. release schedule, he won’t be returning to theaters until 2028. The shift is part of a domino effect caused by the studio moving J.J. Abrams’ upcoming film The Great Beyond into The Batman Part II’s old slot of October 1, 2027. That punted the Bat all the way into the following year. Director Matt Reeves hopped on social media this morning after the announcement to share a short little video posted to Vimeo. It’s simply labeled “camera test” and shows Pattinson’s Batman turning slowly to face the camera while dramatic music plays. It looks a bit dark. Along with Pattinson, The Batman Part II is set to star returning cast Colin Farrell (Oz Cobb/The Penguin), Jeffrey Wright (Commissioner Gordon), Andy Serkis (Alfred Pennyworth), and Barry Keoghan (The Joker). New cast members include Marvel stars Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan along with Jayme Lawson, Charles Dance, Gil Perez-Abraham, and Sebastian Koch. As Deadline notes, this date change happens “as the pending Paramount acquisition of the 103-year-old Warner Bros. remains held up by myriad antitrust lawsuits including the attorney general of California, New York and ten other states.” The Batman Part II will be in theaters on February 18, 2028, when it will go up against an untitled Disney film and Takashi Yamazaki’s Grandgear.[end-mark] The post <i>The Batman Part II</i> Will Skulk Into Theaters in 2028 After Release Date Delay appeared first on Reactor.
