Director Matt Reeves used social media to unveil the first photo from the set of The Batman: Part II, currently filming in the UK.
The post confirms that Erik Messerschmidt, David Fincher's recent cinematographer, is serving as the film's director of photography. The still, which shows a clapperboard indicating it's scene 26, depicts a body lying on an autopsy table. It remains to be seen, of course, whose body it is. Speculation continues to run rampant regarding Batman's future adversaries, following reports that Sebastian Stan will play Victor Zsasz, not Harvey Dent as previously suggested. Official: The Penguin will not have a sequel. The InSneider, which broke the news, also states that DC and HBO will not be renewing The Penguin with a second season, thus maintaining its status as a miniseries. This decision echoes Colin Farrell's statements, who seems in no hurry to subject himself once again to the long hours of makeup required to become the Penguin again. Filming for The Batman: Part II is expected to continue until the fall in Liverpool and at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. The film is scheduled for release on October 1, 2027.
