Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios have The Batman Part II flying off to a new date, again.

The film will now open on Feb. 18, 2028 in Imax, after being previously slated for an Oct. 1, 2027 release. DC Studios had the film earlier set for a release date on Oct. 3, 2025, which had to be moved in the wake of the 2023 writers and actors strikes.

Warner Bros. is now putting The Batman Part II in the same corridor as 2022’s The Batman, which nabbed the second best opening of the pandemic with $134 million domestically, on its way to a global haul of $770.3 million.

The Batman Part II move was part of a larger shuffle. The other big one wasThe Great Beyond, the J.J. Abrams sci-fi fantasy starring Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega, moving from a previously scheduled Nov. 13, 2026 release to open in theaters on Oct. 1, 2027 in Imax and with a two-week Imax 70mm run thrown in.
