Robert Pattinson, who featured in the 2022 film ‘’The Batman’, is all set to reprise his role in ‘The Batman’ sequel, filmmaker Matt Reeves has confirmed. The film proved to be a bonafide box office success after it raked in around $770 million at the global box office.
Since then, fans had been anticipating a sequel to the antihero feature. And now, the filmmaker has confirmed that a sequel to ‘The Batman’ is indeed in works. Reeves, during an interaction with the Collider, said, “We are working on a movie. I’ll put it to you that way. We’re deep in it and my partner and I are writing, Mattson [Tomlin] and I are writing, and it’s really exciting, and I’m really excited about what we’re doing.”

He went on to add that Pattinson would be returning as the caped crusader. “(I am) really excited to be doing that with Rob (Robert Pattinson), because I just think he’s such a special person and actor.”
The news comes as a delight, considering several DC actors have lately been scrapped after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as heads of the DC Studios, and the deal with Warner Bros Discovery. As we all know, ‘Wonder Woman’ film with Gal Gadot has been scrapped and Henry Cavill will no longer be playing Superman. It is in fact being said that Jason Momoa will not also not return in upcoming Aquaman features.

[…] The BatVerse of what we’re doing has me very, very excited, and I’m very passionate about it.”
