The Batman 2 has been confirmed, with Warner Bros. chairman Toby Emmerich revealing the news at CinemaCon 2022.

"Matt took one of our most iconic and beloved superheroes and delivered a fresh" said Emmerich. "Matt Reeves, Robert Pattinson, and the entire team will be taking audiences back to Gotham with The Batman 2."

Nothing about The Batman 2's plot or characters have been revealed, other than the fact that Pattinson will be returning as reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne. Zoë Kravitz, who plays Catwoman in The Batman, was not named specifically today, but Emmerich implied she would be returning for the sequel as well.

If you haven't seen Reeves' take on Batman, our 4/5-star review might be of some encouragement. "A gripping, grimy and sensational street-level detective story, the Dark Knight’s triumphant return is exactly the fresh start needed after a decade of diminishing returns," reads our review.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
