Warner Bros. and DC Studios have paused production on THE BATMAN PART II while director Matt Reeves deals with a personal matter. Here’s the full statement released by the studio to DEADLINE and the other trades:
Production on THE BATMAN PART II has been temporarily paused while Matt Reeves focuses on a family matter. Matt has the full support of DC Studios and we look forward to continuing the journey soon.
All I will say is that I totally understand why this is happening and all I can do is wish Mr. Reeves and his family the best. It’s not my place to reveal the reason behind this pause of production, so this is about all I have to say on the matter other than in the grand scheme of life, it’s just a movie and family is more important. I trust most Batman fans understand that…but alas, I know there’s a segment who don’t and they are just assholes. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
