Ever since the announcement, fans have been eagerly awaiting to know about its release date. While many may expect it to release next year, unfortunately, the audience will have to wait a little longer.
According to a report in Variety, The Batman 2 will not release in theaters anytime before the year 2025. Apparently, Reeves is still working on the script.
DC Studios
Will the change of heads at DC have an effect?
After James Gunn took over DC Studios as co-CEO alongside Peter Safran, fans were left disappointed when Gunn announced Henry Cavill will not return as Superman.

Meanwhile, The Batman 2 is yet to receive an official title.

Pattinson will return but…
While it has been reported that Pattinson will return to the sequel as Batman, there is no clarity over whether the sequel will have the same cast as that of its prequel, or whether fresh faces will be introduced.
As per Deadline's report, most of the cast will reprise their roles, including Zoe Kravitz who played Catwoman in The Batman.
