Batman 2 is now in development, and Matt Reeves gives a comforting report on its progress. Robert Pattinson is expected to return.
Batman 2’s progress is reported favorably by Matt Reeves. In March 2022, Christopher Reeves’ darker and more detective-focused Batman film, which starred Robert Pattinson as a moody Bruce Wayne, was released to positive reviews and significant box office earnings. Warner Bros. quickly gave the go-ahead for The Batman 2 with Reeves and Pattinson back. However, this was before James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought on board to lead the renamed DC Studios. According to current rumors, Batman 2 is still in good hands despite the changes.
Reeves recently gave a favorable update on Batman 2 amidst all the DC ambiguity in an interview with Collider for the 15th anniversary of Cloverfield. Reeves plays coy when asked if he will be making any movies this year before disclosing that he and Mattson Tomlin, who also contributed to The Batman script but was not given credit, are “deep” into development on The Batman 2. Though his name wasn’t revealed, Peter Craig was the sole co-writer on The Batman who was given credit alongside Reeves. Here is Reeves’ complete response:
We are making a movie, but I won’t answer that question. I’ll put it that way for you. We’re in the thick of it, and my writing partner and I are both writing with Mattson [Tomlin]. It’s extremely great, and I’m really excited about what we’re doing.
When The Batman 2 Might Arrive
Batman 2 remains secure despite the changes at DC Studios, as evidenced by Reeves’ admission that he is far along in the creation of a sequel. For those who are anxiously awaiting the release of the sequel, it’s not exactly encouraging. Reeves hasn’t yet given the studio a finished script, which has led to expectations that The Batman 2 won’t debut until at least 2025, claims a recent report. To fulfill that release date, the sequel would need to begin production either this year or the following.
What The Batman 2 Might Deal With
There will be plenty of time to make predictions about what The Batman 2 might be about as Reeves continues to work on the script. It is widely believed that the Joker’s appearance in Batman’s final moments aims to establish him as the main antagonist of the sequel. It’s also probable that the Riddler played by Paul Dano and the Penguin, played by a disguised Colin Farrell, will both appear in The Batman 2. Additionally, Reeves hinted at a “grounded version” of Mr. Freeze, expanding the villain options for the sequel.
The only character for the sequel who has been officially confirmed is Robert Pattinson’s Batman. As a result, the only thing that can be said with certainty is that the sequel will continue the narrative of its eponymous hero. The first film’s conclusion, in which Batman helped Gotham’s recovery efforts and vowed to instill optimism in the city, concluded on a relatively upbeat note. For the time being, nothing further is known regarding the sequel’s release date or its specific plot. Hopefully, as The Batman 2’s production moves forward, more will become evident.
