Matt Reeves has given a promising update for The Batman 2 – amid a backdrop of major DC shake-ups.

"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," Reeves shared during an interview with Collider.

Reeves added that he’s also "really excited to be doing that with [Robert Pattinson], because I just think he's such a special person and actor."

The Batman sequel was announced at last year’s CinemaCon, with Matt Reeves back as director and Robert Pattinson once again donning the cowl as Batman.

No other casting has yet been announced, though The Batman’s universe is set to grow with two spin-offs. The first, starring Colin Farrell’s Penguin, is filming from February. Another spin-off, widely reported to be set in Arkham Asylum, is also in the works and has recently tapped The Devil All the Time director Antonio Campos as showrunner.
