Matt Reeves The Batman set with Robert Pattinson

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.”

No plot details are known, though fans have speculated the villain could be Mr. Freeze.

Filming is expected to start later this year.

“I can tell you that we are going to be shooting this year and that we’re excited about it. I can’t really tell you anything about it [laughs] except that we’re really excited about it,” Reeves said while appearing at the Golden Globes.

He continued, “I’m really excited to be making it, and to get our cast back together and to get new people involved. We’re really excited about it. I think what I am excited about is that I feel like we’re doing something that absolutely continues where the story came from but is something I hope people are going to be really surprised by.”
