Batsuit changes are coming in The Batman Part II.
Released in 2022, The Batman marked Robert Pattinson’s debut as the Caped Crusader. The Matt Reeves-directed film was met with glowing reviews and was a box office hit, but The Batman Part II development has been slow-going. Recently, though, Reeves shared the first look at Pattinson back in costume for a camera test.
Replying to a user on X, director Reeves confirms that Pattinson’s Batsuit will feature longer ears in the anticipated sequel to The Batman. The user shares images of Pattinson’s camera test, asking whether they are “crazy” for thinking the Batsuit ears are longer. “You are not crazy,” Reeves replies with a bat emoji. Check out his post below:
The camera test is the first real look at The Batman 2, but it did come wrapped up with some more disappointing news. Previously scheduled to hit theaters on October 1, 2027, the sequel was pushed back to February 18, 2028.
Though a six-year wait between installments is on the longer side in this era of franchise filmmaking, The Batman 2 is making promising progress. Filming on the sequel officially began last month, both in a Warner Bros. soundstage in Leavesden and on location in Scotland.
No plot synopsis or logline has been released just yet, but Reeves did previously confirm that the DC sequel will take place in a snowy version of Gotham. This is further confirmed in the camera test, which features snowflakes falling around Batman as police car roof lights flash in the background.
