Spring is here, and you know what that means: It’s vengeance time! Well, it’s vengeance time for Bruce Wayne anyhow, in the new Batman movie that began streaming on HBO Max today.

Given that The Batman—starring Robert Pattinson as the weirdo behind the mask—was well-received by audiences and critics alike in theaters, the superhero film is sure to be a hit on HBO Max. For those who didn’t get a chance to catch this nearly three-hour movie in theaters, now’s your chance to see Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz glower sexily at each other from the comfort of your couch. And the best part? You can actually pause for bathroom breaks.

By the time you do finish the movie, you’ll no doubt be left with a few questions, namely: When does The Batman 2 come out? The ending certainly leaves room for more, so read on to see what we know about the possibility of The Batman sequel.

WILL THERE BE A SEQUEL TO THE BATMAN? WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE BATMAN 2:

Warner Bros. has not yet officially announced that The Batman 2 is happening, but it’s very likely that there will be a sequel. According to a Variety report, key cast members have contract options to appear in a Batman sequel, and director Matt Reeves has said that planning for The Batman 2 is underway, even if it’s not yet confirmed.

In a red carpet interview with The Independent, Reeves said, “We have started talking about another movie, but, you know, right now we’ll just put it out in the world and I’ll try to enjoy this.”

Reeves also mentioned The Batman spin-off projects for HBO Max that are underway, including a confirmed HBO Max limited series, The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell. A premiere date for The Penguin has not yet been announced, but Reeves has said it will come before a Batman sequel movie.

WHEN DOES THE BATMAN 2 COME OUT?

There is not yet a The Batman 2 release date, given that Warner Bros. has not yet officially greenlit the film.

However, The Batman producer Dylan Clark was a tad more forthcoming than Reeves when he said, in an interview with ComicBook, “I will go on record and say that it will be less than five years.”

So, while you may have to wait until 2027 for The Batman 2, it seems likely that it is happening. At least you can watch and rewatch The Batman on HBO Max in the meantime!
