The Batman Part II has seen so many delays, and with Matt Reeves having personal issues, some fans and sites have bought into a supposed production listing that doesn’t list Reeves as director.
The only problem is that the production listing is the same one from years ago — which never listed Matt Reeves as the director to begin with.
Update: James Gunn confirms Matt Reeves is still directing.
What happened?
The website Production Weekly posted a recent listing for The Batman Part II that states filming is scheduled to begin in March 2026:
It then lists all the “credits” and a “description,” but wait, the description is actually of the first The Batman movie. The description can be found online from way back in 2021 as the synopsis for The Batman.
And here is the same listing from 2023 from Production Weekly, which also doesn’t list Matt Reeves as a director or anyone directing, so we see they just updated the dates:
So following all the delays, it ran wild on social media and various sites that The Batman Part II has lost director Matt Reeves.
I’ll say if that did happen, it’s highly likely The Batman Part II wouldn’t be happening.
Jeff Sneider also chimed in on The Hot Mic on Thursday and agrees, stating the trades would have said Reeves was off The Batman 2 before a supposed production listing showed it.
This is probably something Gunn should be quick to clear up, so someone should ask him on Threads. Recall Gunn show down claims from Production Weekly that a Mr. Freeze movie was going into production and happening.
What is going on with The Batman: Part II?
The latest is that Matt Reeves is still working on the script. The Batman: Part II has an official release date of October 1, 2027.
James Gunn, Robert Pattinson, and Reeves, himself, have all confirmed recently that The Batman 2 is still happening.
Warner Bros Pictures co-chairman/CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy also said Reeves is still writing and that it will come when Reeves has “written his best Batman script and is ready.”
