The script for The Batman Part II is officially completed, as Matt Reeves has confirmed in a social media post that he finished writing with Mattson Tomlin.
“Partners in Crime (Fighters),” shared Reeves and Tomlin, which includes the cover of the script with the Bat Symbol and the text blurred out, with the pair in the background.
The Batman 2 back on track
The completion of the script for the sequel comes three years after the first film was released on March 4, 2022 and brought in over $770 million at the box office.
It also comes after rumors and speculation said Reeves would be off the movie, and that possibly The Batman 2 wouldn’t be happening.
James Gunn shut down the rumors
Recently saw James Gunn, head of DC studios, shut all that down.
“People should get off Matt’s nuts because it’s like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it,” Gunn told EW.com. “That’s just the way it is. He doesn’t owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does.”
