Why Fans Think The Batman 2 Will End Matt Reeves’ DC Franchise

by

As a die-hard fan who has watched every Batman film since I was knee-high to a bat signal, let me assure you all that Matt Reeves’ The Dark Knight universe is far from over! While I may not have a utility belt full of gadgets or the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound, my extensive knowledge of the DC Comics universe tells me that we will indeed be seeing more of Gotham City’s dark knight. With The Batman Part 2 already scripted and set for production next year, I can hardly contain my excitement!

Following the finish of “The Penguin” series on HBO, fans have been pondering over the potential direction for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” franchise. Some are even suggesting that “The Batman 2” could mark the conclusion of Reeves’ Dark Knight universe.

Could it be that The Batman Part 2 marks the end of director Matt Reeves’ tenure in the DC Universe? Is the Batman series concluding with this film? Let us explore the details!

Will The Batman Part 2 be Matt Reeves’ last DC movie?

The Batman Part 2 is not confirmed to be Matt Reeves’ last DC movie.

In an interview with Collider, Matt Reeves shared that he’s still committed to creating a trilogy of Batman films, stating, “We’re really sticking to the path we initially envisioned.” Initially, James Gunn mentioned that Matt Reeves’ Batman Universe would carry on within the DC Elseworlds framework when he introduced the DCU.

In other words, when people talked about a rumor that Gunn’s DC Universe Batman film, The Brave and the Bold, wouldn’t be released until after Reeves finishes his trilogy, this was denied by the co-CEO of DC Studios on social media threads. Additionally, it was reported that Gunn also dismissed rumors about The Batman Part II and its sequel being canceled, which circulated in June.

According to a recent Entertainment Weekly article, the screenplay for The Batman Part II is finalized and production is set to start in 2025, with a planned release date on October 2, 2026. Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell will once again take on their characters as Bruce Wayne/Batman, James Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth, and Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot/Penguin in this upcoming film.

From my gaming perspective, as I eagerly await The Batman Part II, I can’t help but wonder about the storyline and the villain that will challenge our Dark Knight. Contrary to some rumors floating around, it seems James Gunn has debunked the idea of Professor Pyg, Clayface, Hush, Scarecrow, or Dick Grayson making an appearance in this sequel. But hey, we’ll just have to wait and see who the mastermind behind the chaos will be!

The Batman and The Penguin are both currently streaming on HBO Max.
