The Batman: Part II

EXPECTED 17 Feb 2028TBA

Sequel to the 2022 film The Batman.

Why it matters in DC

Its confirmed relationship to The Batman makes this a continuation of that film's separate Gotham, rather than a chapter of every Batman timeline. The earlier film provides the established character and setting; more specific claims about the sequel's importance should wait for supported story information.

Where it fits in the DC universe

The Batman: Part II is title 3 of 3 in our The Batman Saga viewing sequence. The Batman is the established starting point for this sequel's separate continuity. The Penguin adds context to the same Gotham, but specific requirements for the sequel should follow confirmed story information. Older Batman films are other interpretations, and their villains or events should not be assumed to explain this version's future.
