The Batman Part II is a planned sequel to the 2022 film The Batman, a darker, separate take on the DC superhero Batman. Matt Reeves directed the first film and is directing the sequel, which stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, the wealthy Gotham City figure who fights crime as Batman.
DC Studios oversees the film as part of its wider range of DC stories. The cast also includes Scarlett Johansson, Colin Farrell, Sebastian Stan, Andy Serkis and Jeffrey Wright. Changes to who is working on a film can affect how closely it follows the director’s plans, so Reeves’s continued involvement is relevant to how the sequel is made.
