Matt Reeves Reveals ‘The Batman Part II’ Test Shots, Teases Winter Setting With Batmobile “Snow Tires”

After four years, Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson are finally returning to Gotham… or at least their version of it at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Liverpool.

Returning to the directors chair for The Batman: Part II, Reeves teased some test shots of the Batmobile this week on social media, as well as a snowy winter setting that has fans on the edge of their seats for the long-awaited sequel.

“#SnowTires,” wrote Reeves on X with a bat emoji and photos of his video village monitor with shots of the Batmobile driving through snow.

The co-writer/director later shared another image of an explosion seen through the windshield. “Just over here having a little fun…” he wrote with the photo.

Reeves continued to engage with fans, reposting art from Tom King’s 2018 three-part Batman comics arc ‘Beast of Burden’, which includes the titular Dark Knight’s sidekick Dick Grayson in a tragic storyline.

“It’s time,” wrote one follower with an image of Batman in the snow from No. 57, ‘To Hunt the Beast’, which Reeves reposted with a heart emoji, despite James Gunn previously quelling speculation that Robin would appear in the sequel.

“My biggest fucking dream to see in live action is a bloody Batman in snow, I really hope this means its happening,” wrote another fan account, to which Reeves responded, “Indeed, it is.”

Gunn revealed last July that the script for The Batman: Part II was finished, following several delays. In August, a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery’s shareholders revealed that filming on the sequel would begin filming in the spring, ahead of an Oct. 1, 2027 theatrical release.
