It’s been a long wait for fans of The Batman, but Robert Pattinson has finally given an update that’s worth the anticipation. The actor, who won audiences over with his portrayal of Gotham’s Dark Knight in the 2022 film, recently revealed that he now knows what The Batman: Part II is all about—and he’s thrilled about it.

In a recent interview, Pattinson expressed his excitement, saying that he has finally been filled in on the film’s plot. He remained tight-lipped about the details, of course, but he assured fans that director Matt Reeves has crafted something “very cool.” Given Reeves’ meticulous approach to storytelling, that’s high praise coming from the film’s lead star.
Pattinson has also expressed how excited he is to get started on the movie, joking that he hopes it starts quickly to avoid turning into a “old Batman.” Given that production delays have caused the sequel’s timeframe to be far longer than originally anticipated, his amusing remark captures the long interval between movies. Although Reeves’ methodical narrative style implies that the finished product will be well worth the wait, fans are also suffering the effects of the wait.
Despite the great anticipation for Batman: Part II, the bad news is that fans will have to wait longer than they had hoped. The sequel’s original October 2026 release date has been moved to October 1, 2027. Despite the delay brought on by Warner Bros.’ shifting plans, the good news is that filming is set to begin around the end of 2025. This suggests that planning is now in progress for what seems to be yet another fascinating chapter in Reeves’ Batman story.
