The highly anticipated sequel to The Batman, titled The Batman Part II, has been rescheduled to hit theaters on October 2, 2026. This new release date marks a one-year delay from the film's original schedule. Warner Bros. made several adjustments to its release calendar, including pushing back Barry Levinson's gangster film Alto Nights from November 24 to March 21, 2025, and setting a late August 2025 release date for Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming star-studded project.
The announcement of The Batman Part II was first made at CinemaCon in April 2022. Mattson Tomlin joined Matt Reeves as a co-writer in August of the same year, and in late January 2023, DC Studios executives James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed the film's title and initial release date of October 3, 2025.
