"Saying has been a long time coming would be an understatement. Matt Reeves' hit theaters in October 2021 after two delays, and its sequel, The Batman Part II, is following a similar path. Originally slated for October 2025, Part II was pushed to October 2026 and then, finally, October 2027. Now, a casting update has revealed that more than the release date is changing, as a beloved character may not be returning."
"There are rumors that Johannson's character will serve as a new love interest for Batman, with names like Poison Ivy, Vicki Vale, and Julie Madison being thrown around. But if this character is in fact from the Batman canon, don't expect her to look like anyone we've seen before. If Paul Dano's Riddler is any indication, the Reevesverse will always show a fresh interpretation of the character we know and love (or love to hate)."
The Batman premiered in October 2021 after two delays, and The Batman Part II has been delayed from October 2025 to October 2026 and now October 2027. Scarlett Johansson is reportedly in final talks to join the sequel opposite Robert Pattinson. Zoë Kravitz, who portrayed Selina Kyle/Catwoman, is not expected to return and may not even make a cameo. Rumors suggest Johansson's role could be a new love interest with names like Poison Ivy, Vicki Vale, or Julie Madison floated, and the Reevesverse is likely to present a fresh interpretation. The Batman Part II will premiere October 7, 2027.
