Already a sequel in the works?

On the red carpet of the London premiere, Matt Reeves said he had already discussed a sequel with Warner Bros.

the next march 2, spectators will be able to board a one-way trip to Gotham. Under the direction of Matt Reeves, Batman offers a new feature film, halfway between the superhero film and the film noir. It is Robert Pattinson who will play the dark knight this time, alongside Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell and Paul Dano. The plot will immerse us two years after the birth of Batman, as the vigilante fights crime in the city. But he must face a new enemy: The Riddler. Along the way, he will discover a dark secret about his family, which should call everything into question.

The Batman is expected at the turn, to say the least. After Christopher Nolan’s excellent trilogy, the challenge is enormous for Matt Reeves. It is also a bet for Warner Bros, which will undoubtedly wait to know the results at the box office of the film before starting the production of a sequel. Nevertheless, things seem to be moving in the right direction according to the director. On the red carpet of the London premiere, he confided in a potential second opus.

“Hopefully, we’ll see… You don’t make a first movie like there’s going to be a second. It has to be a movie that stands on its own, but I really believe in what we did and would be happy to tell more stories. We’ll tell more stories on HBO Max, but we’ve already started talking about another movie.”

Series on HBO Max

Warner Bros and HBO Max is betting big on this new feature film, which is being done on the sidelines of the DCEU with Ben Affleck. Warner Media is already working on several spin-offs, which will take the form of series broadcast on the platform launched in May 2020 in the United States.

The first series should focus on the Gotham police, with Jeffrey Wright in the skin of Lieutenant James Gordon. Yes The Batman intends to tell the origins of his collaboration with the Dark Knight, the series could tell the rise of the character until he becomes commissioner. A plot that is reminiscent of that of Gotham, broadcast between 2014 and 2019 on Fox.

Colin Farrell, who plays The Penguin, should also be entitled to his solo adventure. As a reminder, in Matt Reeves’ film, we meet him when he is only an underling of Carmine Falcone. The actor recently confessed to wanting to evolve it until it becomes the character known to all, in comics and in cinema. Finally, it has been rumored for some time that Catwoman could be entitled to her spin-off series. Matt Reeves had also confirmed that the first discussions had taken place.

An imminent theatrical release

We will probably have to wait until the film’s release, on March 2, to discover all these beautiful people in action and begin to speculate on what the future could hold for them. The first criticisms of The Batman are rather laudatory, there is no doubt that Warner Bros will want to capitalize on this success, in order to impose itself more durably against Marvel and its juggernaut.

In any case, this is the path that the studios seem to be taking, which should return to the DCEU during this year 2022 with black adam and The Flash. The two feature films are respectively announced for the July 27 and the November 2 of this year.
