The Batman 2, with Robert Pattinson, confirmed by Warner Bros.

In further unsurprising sequel news from this week’s film industry convention CinemaCon, Warner Bros. has confirmed that it will make a sequel to Batman. Both star Robert Pattinson, and Matt Reeves, will return to direct the film. The release date has not been announced.

Reeves said that he would direct as well as write. The Batman 2, and said, “I’m excited to jump back into this world for the next chapter.”

Variety and Deadline noted the following: Batman marked Warner Bros.’ return to releasing movies exclusively in theaters after more than a year of simultaneous releases on its streaming service, HBO Max. The film made around $760 million at the worldwide box during a relatively short 45-day theatrical window, before its HBO Max debut last week brought in a bigger home audience than any of last year’s day-and-date films (which included Dune, Wonder Woman 1984And Resurrections of the Matrix) — proving that, when it comes to franchise entertainment at least, you can have your cake and eat it.

Pattinson should make fans happy that he is returning to the role. His moody and vulnerable take on the character was widely praised, with Polygon’s Batman review calling him “a great Batman, surly and serious, but not impenetrable.” No plot details for the new film have been announced, although after Barry Keoghan’s monstrous Joker was unveiled in a deleted scene released a few weeks after the film’s opening, it seems more than likely that the character will at least make an appearance.
