‘The Batman 2’ Announced at CinemaCon; Robert Pattinson to Return as Dark Knight, Matt Reeves Directing

Matt Reeves is coming back as director for The Batman 2, the sequel to his critically-acclaimed take on the Dark Knight starring Robert Pattinson. Warner Bros. broke the news out today at their panel at CinemaCon, reassuring fans that Reeves’ vision for Gotham City will continue to expand in the upcoming years.

While it is great to have official confirmation that The Batman 2 is in early development, by now, no one doubted a sequel would happen. For starters, Reeves’ The Batman already crossed the mark of $750 million at the international box office, making it an absolute commercial success, especially taking into account that movie theaters are still recovering from the effects of the pandemic.

Reeves is already attached to two new spinoff series being developed for HBO Max, one focused on Arkham Asylum and the Gotham City Police Department, and the other giving the spotlight to Colin Farrell’s Penguin.

The Batman's cast also includes Zoë Kravitz as the thief Catwoman, Colin Farrell as the Penguin, Andy Serkis as Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone. Unfortunately, we still don’t know which cast members will be back for the sequel.
