WB made a huge swing when they decided to introduce Robert Pattinson as an alternate version of Batman, but it yielded some fantastic results. Now everyone is excited for the future of Battinson, but it could be a while before we see him in the big screen again.
According to Variety, director Matt Reeves is yet to deliver a script for the follow-up to The Batman, and the next movie ‘will not hit theaters until 2025 at the earliest’.
This is certainly a huge bummer for a lot of fans, but I guess they can rest easy knowing that WB won’t be rushing this project, giving Reeves enough time to develop something that could be truly special.
If anything, rumors are going around that the multiverse that will be established in The Flash could lead to multiple Batmen existing at the same time. Rumor has it that we were supposed to see more of Michael Keaton’s Batman in the future, and while I don’t expect it, some are hoping that Ben Affleck has changed his mood about his Batman future. I mean, if Henry Cavill could return as Superman, why not his version of the Dark Knight as well?
We don’t know where a sequel for The Batman would go, but the film does tease a return to form for Batman, being the symbol of hope, rather than the cynical dark character that we’ve been getting with the last cinematic iteration.
Honestly, I just want to see Battinson get his own Robin. Is that too much to ask?
No release date has been set for The Batman sequel.
