โ€˜The Batmanโ€˜ sequel has been confirmed with Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson confirmed to return.

Warner Bros. announced that following the success of the DC blockbuster starring the 35-year-old actor as the Caped Crusader, Robert will reprise the role for a second movie with Matt set to direct the follow-up.

Speaking at the CinemaCon event on Tuesday (26.04.22), the filmmaker said: โ€œThank you all for your tremendous support for โ€˜The Batmanโ€™. We couldnโ€™t have gotten here without the faith and enthusiasm of all your teams around the world.

โ€œIโ€™m excited to jump back into this world for the next chapter.โ€

โ€˜The Batmanโ€™ โ€“ which also starred Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as Riddler and Colin Farrell as Penguin โ€“ made $750 million at the global box office.

As well as a sequel, Matt is working on โ€˜The Penguinโ€™ spin-off series with Colin.

There was also set to be another โ€˜The Batmanโ€™ prequel series on HBO Max, but it was โ€œput on holdโ€.

Matt said recently: โ€œOne thing that weโ€™re not doing that I was gonna doโ€ฆ So, thereโ€™s the Gotham police show, which, that one actually is put on hold. Weโ€™re not really doing that.โ€

The series โ€“ which would follow Gotham City Police โ€“ โ€œwasnโ€™t going to be a Batman storyโ€.

He said: โ€œIt wasnโ€™t going to be a Batman story. It was going to be about this corrupt cop, and it was going to be about how the worst gang in Gotham were the GCPD. And [Bruce] would have touched paths with [Commissioner] Gordon. It would have been someone to measure him against, but it would be a battle for his soul.โ€

The โ€˜Cloverfieldโ€™ director claimed that the streaming service liked some of the ideas, but not about a corrupt cop.

He said: โ€œThey didnโ€™t not like the idea, they just wanted to center a show on a character who was moreโ€”I get it, so maybe someday weโ€™ll do that show.'โ€
