It may be a little while longer before Battinson is back on the big screen.
The Batman Part II has paused production. ABC Audio has learned this is due to director Matt Reeves temporarily stepping away from the production for personal reasons. DC Studios shared a statement with more information as to why.
“Production on The Batman Part II has been temporarily paused while Matt Reeves focuses on a family matter,” the statement reads. “Matt has the full support of DC Studios and we look forward to continuing the journey soon.”
The Batman Part II is currently set to open in theaters on Feb. 18, 2028. It has been delayed multiple times. The film was first scheduled to open on Oct. 2, 2026, before it was delayed to Oct. 1, 2027. There is no word on if this pause in production will cause another change in release date.
Robert Pattinson once again stars as the caped crusader in this sequel to The Batman, which was released in 2022.

Constance Zimmer has revealed she was diagnosed for breast cancer earlier this year.
The Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette actress took to Instagram on Sunday to write about her diagnosis. She shared all about the health development she kept a secret during the press tour for FX’s Love Story.
“October is #breastcancerawarenessmonth and I never thought I’d be honoring it with my own story. On March 13th when I was away from home– I heard these words from my doctor over zoom: ‘You have DCIS, also refereed to as Stage 0 breast cancer.’ The silence was deafening,” Zimmer wrote.
Love Story premiered on Feb. 12, almost exactly one month before Zimmer received the news.
“Here I was surrounded by women sharing their secrets about their Midlife truths – and I was holding onto the biggest secret I’d ever held. First, I had to call my husband and get home to tell our daughter in person,” Zimmer wrote. “The mental toll that followed was overwhelming on certain days as I began talking to many more doctors then I would’ve liked. Feeling like my options were limited and most suggested what was the quickest way to get this mass out ASAP, which was a mastectomy.”
Zimmer took time to decide whether or not she wanted the procedure. Eventually she was able to find a doctor who was able to do the operation without removing her breast.
“She was the first doctor to make me feel like what I wanted mattered and that made me weep with joy,” Zimmer wrote. “It did take 3 surgeries – 3 weeks in a row, but she did it, she saved my breast and it looks good too!”
Zimmer went on to receive an Emmy nomination for her role in Love Story. During her public press tour, she decided to keep her diagnosis and treatment private. “I then followed my surgeries with radiation, while celebrating my Emmy Nomination,” Zimmer wrote.
Now, Zimmer has announced that she is cancer free.
“From hospital gowns to Emmy glamour this was one hell of a ride,” Zimmer wrote.

At 58, actor, comedian and singer Jamie Foxx says he has “unfinished business” and is feeling more creative than ever, three years after a health scare sent him to the hospital.
“Man, I almost died,” Foxx told ABC News’ Will Reeve in an interview that aired Monday on Good Morning America. “I was almost outta here. Stand-up comedy doesn’t come from an accomplished position. I have something to connect with people and say, ‘Hey, man, I went through some stuff and I’m gonna tell it as funny as I can, but as real as I can.'”
In 2023, Foxx experienced a brain bleed that led to a stroke. He said nurses told him afterward that his chances of survival were slim.
“I went back to see those nurses that kept me alive,” Foxx recalled. “She said, ‘But Jamie, I’m gonna tell you something, you a miracle. You’re a three percenter.’ I said, ‘What’s that mean?’ She said, ‘Less than 3% of people that come in with what you have walk out of here.'”
But Foxx said his close circle of friends and loved ones helped him make a major recovery.
“They saw me at my most, you know, vulnerable. I had to depend on people,” Foxx said. “I came to. I was in a wheelchair. I said, ‘What’s up with the wheelchair?!’ When we all go, it’s how they speak your name. It’s how they feel about you. So, I kind of keep that in the back of my head when I’m telling jokes.”
Following medical treatment and a recovery plan that involved playing pickleball, Foxx is back on stage, returning to his comedy roots.
“I’ve never been as creative as I am now, 58 years old, but I just still feel like there’s some things that I’m really trying to get at,” he said.
Foxx’s latest project is a new Hulu standup special called Take Care of Yourself, which was filmed in Oakland, California, where Foxx kickstarted his career when he won the Bay Area Black Comedy Competition & Festival back in 1991. He even welcomed one of his daughters, Anelise, to share the spotlight with him in the special.
“To be on stage with my little one, with my daughter, to have her on stage with me rocking, showing her musical talents, and she’s basically a quiet person, but her showing her artistry, that feels good,” he said.
The new standup special, Jamie Foxx: Take Care of Yourself, premieres Wednesday on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News, Disney+ and Hulu.

Michael Douglas speaks with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in an interview that aired on “Good Morning America” on Oct. 5, 2026. (ABC News)
Actor Michael Douglas is sharing new details about his decadeslong career in Hollywood, and the shadow he lived under as he climbed his way to the top.
Douglas, now 82, was born into Hollywood royalty as the son of actors Diana Douglas and Kirk Douglas.
It was his dad, a three-time Oscar nominee whom Michael Douglas describes as “larger than life,” whose shadow loomed large over his son, both as a father and in Hollywood.
“I think he meant well, but he was out of that generation where you smacked around a fair amount,” Michael Douglas told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, describing his father’s temper that he said left him shy throughout his childhood.
In his 20s, Michael Douglas followed his dad into the world of acting, and said he soon had to turn down his own dad for a role.
While producing One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Michael Douglas said that though his dad desperately wanted the role of Randle Patrick McMurphy, the studio head and director felt that Kirk Douglas was too old for the part. Michael instead cast Jack Nicholson, who would go on to win an Oscar.
Over 50 years later, Michael Douglas told Sawyer that telling Kirk Douglas — who died in 2000 at age 103 — that he didn’t get the role remains the “hardest thing I ever had to do.”
In his new memoir, One Helluva Ride, Michael Douglas describes not only the familial relationships he had to navigate throughout his career, but also the personal ones.
The Fatal Attraction actor reveals for the first time in the book that he had an affair with his Romancing the Stone co-star Kathleen Turner, an affair they kept secret for 40 years.
Michael Douglas told Sawyer that he asked Turner and the other women mentioned in his memoir for their permission before writing about them.
“These are people I had relationships with over my 82 years and many of them long before Catherine was born,” Michael Douglas said, referring to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, his wife of over 25 years, with whom he shares two children.
“I mean, people date, Diane, they do,” he added when asked by Sawyer about the many women named in his memoir.
Tune in to Good Morning America on Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET on ABC for more of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Michael Douglas.
