'The Batman' gets new release date; 'The Flash', 'Shazam 2' pushed further

Fans of 'The Batman' starring Robert Pattinson will have to wait longer as the film's release date has been pushed further. Reportedly, Matt Reeves-directed project which was initially delayed to June 2021 amid coronavirus pandemic, now gets the new date of October 1 next year.

The reason for further delaying the project is due to the halting of production in March as coronavirus affected the film making. Meanwhile, till October 1, 2021, the production team will hope that the pending work would be completed and the film will be ready for release on the given date.

'The Flash' and 'Shazam 2' delayed further

Accordingly, 'The Flash' has been given release date of June 2, 2022, and the new release date of 'Shazam 2' is April 1, 2022.
