The superhero craze is clearly running out of steam<\/a>, as demonstrated by the lukewarm box office performance of legitimately good movies like Superman<\/a> and Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a>. That\u2019s true for superhero movies in general, but it\u2019s not true for one specific upcoming superhero movie, which people absolutely still want: The Batman II.<\/p>\n When James Gunn took over DC and launched his new cinematic universe, there was some concern that the anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves\u2019 highly anticipated The Batman might be canceled along with all other previous DC universe plans. Indeed, it\u2019s been three years since the release of the first movie, and there hasn\u2019t been much movement on the sequel.<\/p>\n James Gunn<\/a> has been assuring people all along that The Batman II is still happening, but until now, no one was really certain. Today, Warner Bros. Discovery finally confirmed that The Batman II is going into production, with filming beginning in spring 2026 and a release scheduled for October 1, 2027.<\/p>\n For fans of Batman\u2019s\u00a0stylistic approach to the Caped Crusader, it\u2019s going to be a lon<\/span>g wait. There will be nearly six years between the release of The Batman and The Batman II. That\u2019s the second-longest wait fans have had for a Batman movie since the gap between the release of Batman & Robin in 1997 and Batman Begins in 2005.<\/p>\n Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne in The Batman<\/p>\n Except there won\u2019t be a gap in Batman appearances.\u00a0The Batman\u00a0happens in a universe unrelated to whatever\u2019s happening in James Gunn\u2019s new DC<\/a> superhero universe. He has big plans,<\/span> and those plans will involve some other Batman, a Batman not played by Robert Pattinson<\/a>. The Brave and the Bold is Gunn\u2019s upcoming Batman movie, and it\u2019ll introduce Batman\u2019s son, Damian Wayne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
