Batman Part 2 Release Date, Cast, Storyline, Trailer Release, and Everything You Need to Know:
Another day, another comic book movie. No matter your own personal feelings about where Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne stacks up against the Batmen of Days Past, fans were mostly happy about The Batman.
The Caped Crusader’s latest adventure debuted in theaters in March 2022 to the tune of a cool $128 million at the box office, and director Matt Reeves is already planning a new franchise.
If you had any doubt, Robert Pattinson is returning to the role for a sequel. Warner Bros. made the next Batman installment official soon after the first film’s debut—so it certainly won’t see a Batgirl-esque fate.
And recently, it seems as if the Bat Stove (like the hot stove, but you know, Batman) is heating up. In an announcement on Tuesday, new DC head James Gunn revealed that The Batman, Part II would be arriving on October 3, 2025. A television series following Colin Farrell’s Penguin will soon enter production.
Batman Part 2 Release Date:
The Batman – Part II will be released on 3rd October 2025.
This film will be independent of James Gunn’s plans for the DC cinematic outings, which will include The Brave and the Bold, which focuses on a different iteration of the character alongside his son, Robin/Damian Wayne.
We will update you further on the release plan for this film when it is released.
The Batman Part II will be released on October 3, 2025.
The Batman 2 release date is set for October 3, 2025. Oh, we also have a title as well. It’s called The Batman: Part 2. Feel free to keep calling it The Batman 2, though.
Batman Part 2 Cast:
Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz will be reprising their roles as billionaire socialite Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, and Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in The Batman 2, it was confirmed at CinemaCon 2022.
Pattinson recently discussed his intentions for the trilogy.
Speaking to Empire, Pattinson noted: “I’ve made a kind of map for where Bruce’s psychology would grow over two more movies. I would love to do it.”
He also confirmed that if Warner Bros. was to approach him about reprising his role once or twice more, he wouldn’t hesitate to say yes.
“I would love to do it,” Pattinson said, as producer Dylan Clark added: “As the first stand-alone Batman in 10 years, the hope is we can lay a foundation that you can build stories upon.”
There’s also plenty of scope for more character development when it comes to Selina Kyle (Big Little Lies’ Zoë Kravitz), who is clearly still developing her alter-ego of Catwoman in The Batman.
The same goes for detective James Gordon (Westworld’s Jeffrey Wright), who’s only a lieutenant in The Batman rather than a Commissioner, as he’s more widely known.
Sadly, John Turturro is unlikely to return as Falcone after he was shot and killed by antagonist The Riddler/Edward Nashton (Paul Dano), and the same goes for Peter Sarsgaard as the late DA Gil Colson.
However, we wouldn’t be surprised if Colin Farrell ends up returning as Penguin for the inevitable sequel and building on his role in the first movie.
In a recent interview on the Happy, Sad, Confused Podcast, Farrell spoke about his small role.
“I’m only in it for five or six scenes, so I can’t wait to see the film because it won’t be ruined by my presence,” he said. “Really, it’s a freebie for me. I’ll get a little bit uncomfortable for the f*****g nine minutes I have, and then the rest of it, I cannot wait to see how [Matt] brought this world to life.”
Following the death of Falcone, Penguin is in a great place to take over Falcone’s drug operation in a sequel.
It’s also likely that Dano would reprise his role as The Riddler.
“If I’m called back to Gotham, I’ll be there,” Dano recently told RadioTimes.com when asked about potential sequels.
Batman Part 2 Storyline:
It doesn’t take the world’s greatest detective to figure out the identity of that particular character who showed up at the end of The Batman, and although nothing is certain, we have to expect Joker will show up again at some point.
There are lots of Batman stories we could see in The Batman 2, but Pattinson has said he’d like to adapt Death in the Family, in which that character plays a significant role, so maybe that’ll pay off in the next film. Still, The Batman impressed us by zigging when we expected it to zag, so perhaps we won’t see Batman face off against you know who.
The other potential story beats we can see being explored in a sequel to the superhero detective movie involve the Court of Owls and Bane. The Court of Owls is alluded to several times during The Batman with The Riddler, trying to expose the corrupt foundations of Gotham.
The story arc that introduced the Court, by Scott Snyder and Gregg Cappulo, explored this concept in detail, revealing the Owls had had a hand (or Talon) in Gotham from the very beginning.
While The Riddler’s ire was focused on those feasting on the carcass of the Wayne’s Renewal Project, it’s possible that the Gotham elite he targeted were members of this secret society without him even realising. Perhaps following the villain’s attack, he’s upset things to the point the Court feels it needs to take action and get rid of a pointy-eared vigilante poking around in their business.
The last dangling plot thread involves Bane, who you’ll either remember as the hulking brute who helped Uma Thurman’s Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin or as Tahlia Ghul’s masked muscle in The Dark Knight Rises. While Bane doesn’t make an appearance in The Batman, it seems the drug Venom that grants him his super-strength does.
During the final fight scene, when Batman’s incapacitated, we see Bruce struggling to get to his feet. Desperate and running out of options, he injects himself with a green liquid that gives him back his strength but leaves him in a rage-filled state, with Gordon and Catwoman having to convince him to stop beating the villain.
Batman Part 2 Trailer Release:
If you think we have access to The Batman 2 trailer at this point, you could do with a check-up at Arkham.
In all seriousness, though, The Batman 2 has only just been officially announced, so you might as well get comfy. It’s going to be a long wait for footage. No, there isn’t a trailer for The Batman 2 at the time of writing.
