The Batman: Part II – Pattinson Says Filming Starts Later This Month

The Drama star Robert Pattinson has revealed that filming for The Batman: Part II will begin later this month, and he praises the script, calling it "so, so good."

It seems that things are finally ready to go with The Batman: Part II. The film has had a rocky road to the big screen for a bunch of reasons, some of which we might never know, but people have spent the last few years convinced that something terrible was going on behind the scenes with this film. This mostly falls on Warner Bros., which shouldn't have dated the film without a completed script, and the shifting release dates made the production seem much more troubled than it likely is. Robert Pattinson is currently doing press for The Drama, but French news outlet C à vous (via TotalFilm) asked him about the film, and he revealed that filming starts very soon.

"I'm so excited about doing it again," Pattinson explained. "We'll probably finish this press tour in… a week? And then I'll immediately start doing Batman stuff. The new script is so, so good."

This is going to be a rough schedule for Pattinson to fit in, but no one likely thought all of these movies would line up like this. On top of the press needed for The Drama, Pattinson will also have major press tours later this year for The Odyssey and Dune: Part Three. We can only assume that the filming timeline for The Batman: Part II will wrap sometime in June. However, if production is starting in a week or so, does that mean we might have a piece of footage or two when CinemaCon rolls around? They announced that this movie would be a thing at CinemaCon, so showing off the first frame of footage there would be fitting.

The Batman: Part II Is Taking Its Sweet Time, And That's Fine

The Batman Part II was officially announced at CinemaCon in April 2022, and things have been all over the place ever since. Fans have been seeing smoke everywhere, and while timelines change, Warner Bros. kept delaying the film instead of just pulling it from the schedule and giving it a more solid release date when everyone involved knew things were ready to go. The constant delays have led to all sorts of rumors about this movie to the point that James Gunn has had to make multiple public statements assuring everyone that the film is happening and they were just waiting for the script from director Matt Reeves and Mattson Tomlin.

At the end of June 2025, we had some movement that would finally make people calm down. Reeves took to social media with Tomlin and shared a picture of a piece of paper with a Batman logo on it. It appears the first draft of the script for The Batman: Part II is probably done. Now, this is only a first draft since Gunn has been pretty upfront that they hadn't received any drafts yet, so there is still more work to be done, but any creative writer will tell you that you can't edit or improve what doesn't exist, so a first draft that needs a lot of improvement is better than no draft at all. At the time of writing, The Batman: Part II has a release date of October 7, 2027.
