Sounds like a plan, Batman

Despite the years-long gap between The Batman's release in 2022 and The Batman 2's production getting underway, director Matt Reeves says the plan is still for Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader to star in a trilogy.

"Yes, that is still the plan," Reeves told Collider when asked about whether The Batman was still aiming for a trilogy of movies. "I mean, it’s sticking very closely to the path we envisioned."

Right now, all we have to go on with The Batman 2 is that filming is set to begin next year. Pattinson will don the cowl again but, beyond that, little is known about the sequel's story.

"It's shooting next year. We're gearing up, and I will say that the bar just couldn't be higher," The Batman 2 co-writer Mattson Tomlin told Screen Rant in August.

Our own review of The Penguin praised individual performances, including Milioti's turn as Sofia Falcone, but felt that the lack of connectivity between the series and its cinematic big brother hurt its believability.
