The Batman 2 should start to shoot next March … without the director Matt Reeves?
We have good news and (potentially) bad news relating to the rest of Warner Bros./dc Batman: The film should finally start shooting next March, but it seems that there is a chance that director Matt Reeves does not come back to take the bar.
As you can see below, Reeves is not listed in the last weekly production report.
It could simply be supervision, but we know that the filmmaker has dealt with personal problems (we will not enter rumors), which could prevent him from engaging in the film if the studio is determined to go ahead without any other delay.
We find it hard to believe that WB would replace Reeves with another director just to make things happen, unless he decides to move away and give his blessing?
Jeff Sneider tackled the situation of the episode tonight The hot microAnd although he said he does not know if Reeves is still on board or not, he said that he “would not be surprised” if the next time we see the black knight on the big screen was in the DCU (he speculates that James Gunn could work on a new superman / Batman film).

At the end of last year, we learned the new disappointing that the film had been struck by another delay and will not arrive before October 1, 2027. The co-leader of DC studios James Gunn said that the reverse almost a year was simply due to the fact that the script had not been finished, but it seems that the filmmaker has now, at least, to have the history global.
In a recent interview, star Robert Pattinson revealed that he knew what Batman The rest will be about to address the news that the film was pushed in 2027.
“Matt is a very careful writer [laughs]… but I finally know what it is. It’s very cool and I am very excited.
Many fans and initiates of the industry remain convinced that Pattinson will ultimately remain as Dark Knight of the DCU for the planned The courageous and the fat movie. The folding of the Batverse in the DCU could make the most sense, except for any other reason than to avoid having two Batman franchises flowing next to each other. By time Batman The continuation in fact arrives in theaters in 2027, there was certainly at least some progress on The courageous and the fat.
Gunn and Peter Safran refuted the rumors of Pattinson during the recent update of the DCU slate, although he can say that the Superman The director would not tell outright that the Mickey 17 The actor would not play Batman in The courageous and the fatSimply noting that it was “very improbable”.
Here is what Reeves had to say about the suite during the Golden Globes of January.
“I can tell you that we are going to shoot this year and that we are excited about it. I can’t really tell you, except that we are really excited. We continue the story. I am really excited to do so, to put our cast together, to involve new people, and we are really excited about it.”
“What fascinates me is that I have the impression that we do something that continues absolutely where the story comes from, but it is something that I hope that people will be really surprised”, “ He added.
