On December 27, 2024, the announcement came that The Batman 2 would change its release date to October 1, 2027, and many fans began to complain about this change. So James Gunn, the head of DC Studios, decided to talk about it.
That was through his Threads account, and he first touched on the topic of why there were so many years of waiting between the first film, whose release was in March 2022, and its long-awaited sequel.
According to Gunn ‘to be fair, a five-year wait is pretty common for sequels.’ That is something that is going to happen, if there are no changes, with The Batman 2 and the previous film.
We recommend: The Batman 2 would have been delayed due to its visual effects.
This filmmaker went on to say ‘seven years between Alien and Aliens, 14 years between Incredibles’, and continued with ‘seven years between the first two Terminator (films). Thirteen years between those of Avatar. Thirty-six years between Top Gun’. And he could not fail to mention another case.

‘And, of course, six years between Guardians (of the Galaxy) Vol. 2 and Vol. 3,’ noted James Gunn. At least for him, a waiting time between films is quite common and that is going to happen with The Batman 2. The initial plan is that production of this film would begin in the third quarter of 2025.
But Matt Reeves is still working on the script. Although this film is not part of the new DC cinematic universe, both Gunn and Peter Safran are supervising it.
The same Friday that was the announcement of the delay of The Batman 2 there was news of Reeves’ work. According to James Gunn ‘Matt is committed to making the best movie possible, and no one can guess exactly how long it will take to write a script.’
To the above, he added ‘once there is a finished script, there is about two years for pre-production, filming and post-production in large films.’ Precisely as is this case.

It is not the first time nor will it be the last that Gunn responds about the DC Comics movies. He previously clarified why he does not plan to do Batman and Superman origin stories again.
