The DC Universe has been a popular hit across generations, from comics to WB movies. Although the DC franchise has introduced popular characters like Aquaman and Wonder Woman, the Batman Sequels are regarded as the most infamous Box Office Hits. The plot, the grandeur of the Batsuit, and well-written characters made it a timeless classic.

The recent announcement about 'Batman 2' featuring Robert Pattinson, getting delayed until 2027, has left fans disappointed. While netizens were seen complaining, many have expressed their resentment using the ultimate weapon- memes and humor.

Fans have eagerly waited for Robert Pattinson to reappear as Batman. After the first sequel in 2022, the upcoming part was initially supposed to be released in 2026. The news of further delay is no less than a heartbreak.

DC fans have waited four years, as they looked forward to the phenomenal film. Even though the release date was initially revealed to be in October 2026, fans didn't mind waiting for a few more months. However, it might be difficult to keep calm until 2027.

Although there were some mixed reactions when Pattinson was announced to be playing Batman in the 2022 movie, he outshone the critics with his performance. Several haters turned into fans and loved the new Batman.

Joker, released in 2019 was a hit and fans demanded a sequel. However, Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) starring Joaquin Phoenix and Gaga didn't live up to the fans' expectations. An X-user hilariously used a clip from the latter movie to imply its contribution to the delay.


"It's not April Fools" (via @therealsupes/X)


The disheartening announcement has stirred denial among fans. Netizens sincerely hoped that the news was a hoax, but not all dreams come true, right? Waiting another whole year for the movie better be a joke!

Batman 2 appears to be a distant idea right now. Fans speculate that the delays may have us watch the movies in theaters during the final days of our lives. Nonetheless, the wait is worth it after all. The hype about the movie will remain the same, netizens speculate.

Let's be honest, five-year intervals between consecutive sequels are insane, especially when it's Batman! Fans are on the verge of losing the last bit of patience. Many remarked that it was thoughtless on DC's part as the Batman Sequels have brought a good share of box-office collections.


As the world awaits another year for 'The Vengeance,' fans are flooding the internet with memes and GIFs. Meanwhile, James Gunn has justified the delay by stating that major hit Sequels are released at fair intervals. He referred to cult classics like Aliens, Terminators, and Incredibles. However, not many DC fans are satisfied with the defense, but there isn't much we can do about it, right?
