Gotham is going to have to wait a little longer.
Production on The Batman Part II has temporarily paused while director Matt Reeves deals with a family matter, according to Warner Bros. and DC Studios.
The studio has said Reeves has its full support and that production is expected to resume, so this is a pause, not a cancellation.
And that distinction matters, because this movie has already spent enough time making Batman fans nervous.
The sequel to 2022’s The Batman was originally expected much earlier, but its release has moved multiple times during development. It is currently scheduled to arrive in February 2028.
Yes, 2028.
Robert Pattinson is returning as Bruce Wayne, with Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright and Andy Serkis also part of the cast. New additions reportedly include Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan.
Plot details, however, remain locked somewhere deep inside the Batcave.
The first film turned Pattinson’s Batman into a darker, detective focused version of the character and made more than $770 million worldwide, while also launching Colin Farrell’s The Penguin spin off.
That has made the wait for the sequel particularly noticeable.
For now, though, there is no indication that this latest production pause has changed the February 2028 release date.
And because the reason involves Reeves’ family, there is no need to turn it into internet detective work either.
The movie is still coming.
Batman fans simply need to practise the skill they have already been developing for years: waiting.
