Release Date: October 1, 2027

Matt Reeves is currently revising the script for The Batman Part II. Production, originally anticipated for early 2025, is now expected to commence mid-to-late 2025, allowing ample time for post-production. The release date has been pushed back to October 1, 2027, allowing for a more deliberate creative process.

The Brave and the Bold

This film will feature a different Batman than Reeves' iteration, focusing on Batman and his son, Damian Wayne (Robin). Director Andy Muschietti aims to avoid a clash with Reeves' Batman Part II, resulting in a later release date. The story will draw inspiration from Grant Morrison's comics, exploring their complex relationship.

Swamp Thing

James Mangold (Logan) is directing the Swamp Thing adaptation. He intends to create a more self-contained, Gothic horror-focused narrative, prioritizing atmosphere and character study over extensive universe connections.

The Authority
