Actor Andy Serkis, who played Alfred Pennyworth in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman 2“, has expressed a desire for a change in the film’s narrative. In the initial installment of the franchise, Serkis portrayed Bruce Wayne’s butler and adoptive guardian. While his character primarily supported Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader in his vigilantism in “The Batman” of 2022, Andy Serkis hopes to see Alfred take on a more paternal role in the sequel.

At Fan Expo Philadelphia 2025, Andy Serkis shared insights on the narrative of The Batman 2, expressing his hope for a strong fatherly connection between Alfred Pennyworth and Bruce, as he yearns to see this relationship portrayed genuinely.
61-year-old actor expressed his feelings about Alfred’s bond with Robert Pattinson’s character in The Batman, saying, “I admired the atmosphere Matt [Reeves] established in the previous film, where a figure who lacks any trace of natural fatherly instinct is trying to be a father he could never be. This struggle was central to their relationship.
Serkis went on, expressing that he deeply believed he had let down the person he cherishes dearly. He possesses the knowledge to assist him in various skills, as well as breaking codes and engaging in combat, all stemming from his military background. (via FandomWire News)
In The Batman 2, Serkis expressed his desire to delve deeper into the relationship between Bruce and Alfred. He noted, “What’s missing is a genuine, strong paternal bond between them.” He went on to say, “I’d like to see this explored thoroughly, pushing it to its limits. I don’t know the details of the story or where Matt Reeves plans to take the characters, but I’m eager to see this aspect of their relationship intensified, particularly in a more challenging scenario.
According to the latest updates, it appears that the screenplay for The Batman 2, which fans have been eagerly anticipating, is nearly complete by director Matt Reeves. Provided there are no unexpected delays, the film is slated to hit cinemas on October 1, 2027.
