Warner Bros. and DC Studios have temporarily paused production on The Batman Part II after director Matt Reeves stepped away to focus on a family matter, according to Deadline.
In a statement released Monday, the studio said production was "temporarily paused while Matt Reeves focuses on a family matter." DC Studios added that Reeves has its full support and that it looks forward to continuing the project soon.
What we know so far
- Filming began in London in July 2026 and had been underway for more than three months.
- The studio has not shared any details about the family matter.
- Sources told Deadline it is too early to say whether the pause will change the film's current February 18, 2028 release date.
- No replacement director has been announced, and the studio describes the pause as temporary.
