Matt Reeves still poking along at his uncompleted The Batman 2 script, apparently
Writer-director Reeves is supposedly expected to finish the script for the sequel to his 2022 blockbuster by Memorial Day.

It’s been more than three years now since Matt Reeves’ noir-ish blockbuster The Batman arrived in theaters—which means it’s been a bit more than three years since Matt Reeves almost certainly knew he was going to be asked to write another one of these things. (Cast members were already locked in for a sequel way back in 2019, and the movie’s box office success—and disconnection from the mess happening over in the DCEU at the time—pretty much cemented a sequel.) Which is why it’s kind of surprising to hear that Reeves, who co-wrote the first film with Peter Craig, hasn’t actually finished the script for the movie, which is currently aiming at a 2027 release date, in all that time.
