The Batman is a series of films about Bruce Wayne, a wealthy man who fights crime in Gotham City as Batman. The first film, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson, was released in 2022.
Reeves is developing a second film, while James Gunn oversees DC’s film and television projects. A third film has been discussed as a possibility, but that does not by itself confirm when it will be made or released.
Whether films are shot together can affect how quickly audiences see them and how firmly a series is planned. For fans, the question is whether the story will continue beyond the next instalment and when Pattinson might return.
