The gritty comic book sequel The Batman Part II, in which Robert Pattinson will again become the Caped Crusader, has been postponed a year, from October 3, 2025 to its new date on October 2, 2026.

Warner Bros., the studio behind the superhero tentpole, has shuffled around other titles on its release calendar.

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride,” starring Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley and Peter Sarsgaard, will take “The Batman” sequel’s old spot on Oct. 3, 2025.

“Alto Knights,” a mob drama starring De Niro as two different mob bosses, has relocated from to March 21, 2025.

The studio also added director Paul Thimas Anderson to its schedule, slating it for August 8, 2025.

The movie, labeled by Warner as “An Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Event Film,” will be released in Imax.

Little is known about the project, though it features DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Alana Haim.

Production on Anderson’s latest is underway in California, where nearly all of the filmmaker’s movies are set.

The first film, which took a grim look at Bruce Wayne’s earlier days as “the world’s greatest detective,” starred Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Andy Serkis as Batman’s butler Alfred Pennyworth, Colin Farrell as Penguin and Jeffrey Wright as Gotham City’s police chief James Gordon.
The Batman was a box office hit with $772 million globally.
