Everything We Know About THE BATMAN – PART II

Although it will not belong to the main on-screen DC Universe, we were very happy to hear that The Batman – Part II will continue on in DC’s new world order. Under James Gunn and Peter Safran, The Batman – Part II will belong to DC’s Elseworlds Projects. These projects will take place in TV, movie, or game form but will not factor into the main universe story. Still, they play a critical role in keeping the DC Universe varied and interesting.

Here’s everything we know about The Batman – Part II.

Title

For now, the sequel to The Batman carries the descriptive title of The Batman – Part II. However, that could change, given we still have some time until the movie arrives.

The Batman – Part II‘s Plot

We don’t know too much yet about The Batman – Part II‘s plot. But we do know that a cinematic universe is building for The Batman. Next up, we’ll see a Penguin series on HBO Max, and that will tie directly into the coming sequel.

Of course, we left The Batman off with our new Joker making his appearance. And it doesn’t seem like Riddler is entirely out of juice yet. But one thing is clear about The Batman – Part II; its focus will stay on Batman a.k.a Bruce Wayne. Reeves shares:

To me, the thing that I really feel is that I also believe that Rob [Pattinson] is so special in the role. My goal has always been to do these point-of-view stories that allow the character to always be the emotional center of the story. Because a lot of times what happens is, after you do the first one, then suddenly other Rogues Gallery characters come in, and they kind of take over, and then Batman takes a backseat sort of character-wise, or emotionally.

Keeping this focus makes complete sense, given the title of the movie. But with so many other interesting characters in play, it still feels worth saying. We can’t wait to dive back into the mind of this version of the Dark Knight as well learn more The Batman – Part II.

For now, we know is that Robert Pattinson will return as our Bruce Wayne/Batman. It just wouldn’t be a The Batman movie without him.

In addition, an article in GQ notes that Matt Reeves has confirmed Andy Serkis’ return as Alfred Pennyworth in The Batman – Part II.

Behind the Scenes

Matt Reeves is returning to write the sequel to The Batman. But this time, he will find a co-writer in Mattson Tomlin. We assume Reeves will also direct The Batman – Part II.
