James Gunnn addresses the rumours of The Batman: Part II and Part III
James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has denied speculation that The Batman: Part II and a third film are being filmed together. The rumour had gained traction online, with fans suggesting that director Matt Reeves could be preparing to shoot the two sequels back-to-back in an effort to streamline the lengthy production timeline.
The Batman: Part II is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on February 18, 2028, following several delays. A third film is planned to conclude the trilogy. Originally, the movie was set to release in October 2025. But then, it got delayed to October 2026, and later to October 2027. Apart from Pattinson, the movie stars Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry, and Sebastian Koch among others.

All about The Batman
Helmed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson in the titular role, The Batman was released in cinemas on March 4, 2022. It tells the story of a brooding, second-year vigilante who investigates a serial killer targeting Gotham City's elite. It will features Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, and Colin Farrell as The Penguin. Warner Bros. Pictures distributed the film, which Reeves and Dylan Clark produced for DC Films.
A Batman film for the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) franchise was announced in October 2014, with Ben Affleck starring as the titular character. He signed on to also direct, produce, and co-write The Batman by 2016 but had reservations about the project and stepped down in January 2017.

Reeves took over the following month and reworked the story, removing the DCEU connections to focus on a younger version of the character earlier in his vigilante career compared to Affleck's portrayal. Reeves worked on the script with Craig and Mattson Tomlin, and sought to explore Batman's detective aspects more than previous films, drawing inspiration from the films of Alfred Hitchcock and the New Hollywood era.
