Matt Reeves breaks silence on Batman Part II
On Friday, Reeves posted a photo of the finished script on Instagram. The caption read: “Partners in Crime (Fighters),” with co-writer Mattson Tomlin tagged. The page was blurred, but a Batman logo was clearly visible.
Reeves did not dive into the details, but for now, the post would suffice. The photo gave no plot hints. Still, fans welcomed even a blurry glimpse of progress. For fans, this was confirmation that things are moving again. It also marks Tomlin’s return to the writing team. He helped shape the story of the first film. Together, they are back to building the next chapter.

James Gunn responds to frustrated fans
Many fans have been frustrated by the delay. James Gunn finally addressed those concerns. In an Entertainment Weekly interview, he asked fans to be patient. “Let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs,” he said.
He also made it clear: Reeves doesn’t owe fans anything. “You like his movie because of Matt,” Gunn added. “So let Matt do things the way he does.” Gunn’s message was simple: creativity takes time. Trust the process.
Will Robert Pattinson return as Batman?
The first Batman movie was released in March 2022. Robert Pattinson brought a darker, more grounded version of Bruce Wayne. The film was praised for its style and tone.
So far, there’s no word on casting. Still, Pattinson is widely expected to return. Fans hope the core team stays together.
The sequel won’t connect to Gunn’s new DC Universe. Instead, it will stay under DC’s Elseworlds banner. That means it’s separate from Superman and other new films.
Reeves can continue to tell his story without any crossover pressure. It has been quiet for a long time. But now there’s movement. The story is written. The vision is back on track. The road to 2027 is still long. But at least fans now know: Gotham will return. Reeves is behind the wheel again.
