It will be a little while longer before Battinson is back on the big screen.

The Batman Part II has been delayed again. The Matt Reeves-directed sequel film starring Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader will now open in theaters on Feb. 18, 2028.

Reeves announced the release date change in a video he posted to Vimeo on Wednesday. The video also features the first camera test footage of Pattinson back in costume as the superhero.

The footage features bright flashing lights as Batman slowly comes into focus. He turns his head and then stares directly into the camera. Music intensifies before the brand-new release date appears.

The Batman Part II was first scheduled to open on Oct. 2, 2026, before it was delayed to Oct. 1, 2027.

Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch make up the rest of the upcoming film’s ensemble cast. Reeves directs and cowrote the screenplay with Mattson Tomlin.

Also shifting around on the Warner Bros. release schedule calendar is the J.J. Abrams-directed film The Great Beyond. It’s moving from its original release date of Nov. 13 to Oct. 1, 2027. That movie is taking over the spot previously held by The Batman Part II. Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega star in the sci-fi fantasy feature.

Nvidia set to report earnings as AI bubble fears loom

(Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images)(NEW YORK) -- Nvidia is set to report earnings on Wednesday as a data center boom drives demand for the company's advanced artificial intelligence chips, despite political backlash and looming concern about a financial bubble.In recent years, the California-based behemoth has defied skeptics with blockbuster revenue quarter after quarter.Rip-roaring growth transformed Nvidia from an ascendant AI player into the world's most valuable company. Investors will be eager to see whether the firm continued to deliver staggering revenue gains over the three months ending in July.The results hold implications well beyond Nvidia. Many analysts view the company as a bellwether for the stock market and the overall economy, which have both come to rely in part on massive spending on AI.Nvidia is expected to report second quarter revenue of $92 billion, which would amount to a 96% jump from the same period a year earlier, Bloomberg estimates showed.As big-tech names spend hundreds of billions on chips and data centers necessary for the energy-intensive technology, however, the financial benefits remain uncertain.The earnings reported by Nvidia will gauge demand for a key building block of AI, showing whether appetite for the technology remains at a fever pitch.Before the earnings report, Karan Girotra, a professor of operations, technology and innovation at Cornell Tech, said investors would watch whether the company has retained its dominance in chip manufacturing.As opposed to the highly competitive markets for AI models and enterprise products, the chip sector has given way to a clear winner.Nvidia "does not face a serious challenger at its layer of the stack and is probably the best chance for public market investors to profit from the AI boom," Girotra said.Fears of an AI bubble persisted ahead of Nvidia’s previous earnings report, but the company rebuked naysayers. Nvidia recorded $81.6 billion in sales over three months ending in April, which beat analyst expectations of $79.2 billion. The jump in revenue marked 85% growth compared to the same quarter a year earlier.Despite Nvidia's continued expansion, investors have proven jittery in recent months. Shares have climbed 13% so far this year after soaring nearly 39% in 2025.The company boasts a market cap of $5.1 trillion, making it roughly equivalent to the GDP of Japan or Germany. Nvidia expanded at a breakneck pace after an AI craze set off by the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022, soaring nearly 700% over the ensuing two years.Copyright © 2026, ABC Audio.
