This has been said by Matt Reeves and the new DC presidency about the sequel to The Batman. The studio has some reasons to trust said saga and create a Batverse.
Everything that has been said about the sequel to The Batman in recent days he has given something to talk about. Director Matt Reeves dropped all the necessary bombshells about what’s next for the character. In addition, he insisted that a central part of the next installment is that “I actually think that through the plan of what these stories are that I want to tell, there is a kind of epic sweep of the development of that character.” For him, continuing to delve into the identity of the hero is the key.

“For me, what I really feel is that I also believe that Robert (Pattinson) is so special on paper. My goal has always been to make these point-of-view stories that allow the character to always be the emotional center of the story. Because a lot of times what happens is, after doing the first one, all of a sudden other Rogues Gallery characters come in, and they take over, and then Batman takes a backseat character-wise or emotionally,” he added about the feelings that has for the protagonist of his nascent franchise.

On the other hand, the filmmaker revealed how the future of his Batverse is advancing within the plans of the new presidency of DC Films. It is worth mentioning that since James Gunn y Peter Safran took the reins, there are many characters or projects that have lost their place in the DCEU. “They (Gunn and Safran) have been great. (…) Actually, we’re supposed to meet in the next few weeks because they want to talk to me about the overall plan, and then they want to hear the BatVerse plan. We met to talk about all that. Look, I’m excited to hear what they’re going to do. The BatVerse thing, as James has said, and as Peter has said, is something of their own that they are letting us do,” he added in an interview with Collider.
“I had this dream about the way I wanted it to play out and that’s part of what I’m going to talk about in a few weeks. They’re going to be talking to me about what they’re doing in their ten year plan or certainly what is in the near future as well so that we can understand that we are not, it’s air traffic control, they don’t want to be crashing into each other. We want to support each other. I’m super excited. I’m really excited to know what they’re doing and to work with them. It’s going to be great,” Reeves said on the matter.
It is also important to mention that the direct sequel to The Batman is not the only product about Gotham on which you are currently working. From the study they seek to create a spin-off series focused on The Penguina show that follows the actions of the police in the dark city and others to be announced.
However, there are still no dates for the premiere of The Batman 2 or many details about the plot. Even so, at CINEMASCOMICS everything possible will be done to have the necessary information first so that you can find out.
