Sat May 10 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Matt Reeves Remains Attached to Direct ‘The Batman Part II,’ Despite Rumors

**Los Angeles, CA** – Recent speculation regarding the future of *The Batman Part II* has been put to rest. Following online rumors suggesting director Matt Reeves had left the project, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirmed Reeves is still attached to the sequel.

The film’s future has been the subject of much fan discussion, fueled by unconfirmed reports of Reeves facing personal issues and a lack of a completed script. Even Robert Pattinson has humorously commented on how old his Bruce Wayne character will be by the time of the film’s release, currently slated for October 1, 2027.

The confusion initially stemmed from a Production Weekly listing that omitted Reeves’ name. However, this source has been criticized as unreliable, collecting internet rumors rather than offering confirmed information. Industry insider Jeff Sneider admitted to contributing to the speculation, acknowledging it as a “troll” and emphasizing that reputable trade publications hadn’t reported Reeves’ departure.

Sneider further fueled the flames by speculating that Gunn might be developing a different Batman project, possibly a “World’s Finest” film featuring Batman and Superman, before a direct sequel to *The Batman*. This aligns with Gunn’s own plans for the DC Universe, including *The Brave and the Bold*.

Warner Bros. Pictures executives have remained tight-lipped, stating the project’s direction is in the hands of Gunn and Peter Safran. They acknowledged Reeves’ autonomy as a writer-director, suggesting the sequel will proceed when he is ready.

While the confirmation of Reeves’ involvement is a relief to many fans, the long-term status of *The Batman Part II* remains uncertain. The lack of a script and the potential for a different DCU Batman project to take priority leave some questions unanswered about the sequel’s future.
