Let’s explore what we know about Robert Pattinson‘s The Batman 2 so far. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be another intense journey through Gotham’s darkness!

1. The Script is Finished

Yep, you read that right. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Matt Reeves confirmed that the script for The Batman 2 is officially done!

2. Greig Fraser Might Not Be the Cinematographer

The Batman is a visual feast for the eyes. Cinematographer Greig Fraser really worked his magic with the lighting and those cool ARRI ALFA lenses.

However, Reeves is still trying to decide if Fraser will come back for the sequel. With the cinematographer tied up with the Dune films, it looks like there might be a scheduling clash between Dune 3 and The Batman 2.

3. Time Jump Alert

In the same interview, Reeves revealed that the new film will jump ahead in time after the first movie and the spin-off series The Penguin. He mentioned, “There’s a period of time” the sequel will leap over.

Now, about Colin Farrell’s character, Oz Cobb—Reeves teased, “Oz does become one of the entry points into the movie.” (Sounds like he’s got the golden ticket!)

But when it comes to where the story goes from there, the director kept it under wraps. He only said, “We’re super excited about it.” Anyway, we can’t wait to see how it all connects!

4. Score to Die For

Michael Giacchino, the legend who gave us that haunting score from the first film, is back at it! You remember those 29 tracks from The Batman, right? Like Can’t Fight City Halloween and Don’t Be Voyeur with Me? Classic! Now, gear up for more of those eerie vibes that get stuck in your head for days.

5. Murder Mystery Vibes

Get ready for “another murder Mystery”! Yes, it’s none other than The Batman 2!

That’s right—Batman’s back to solving crimes, and you know it’s going to be intense. The Batman 2 will explore a more complex and darker storyline compared to the first film.

6. Production Kick-Off

While James Gunn’s DC Universe kicks off this year and introduces a new Batman in The Brave and the Bold, Reeves is keeping his dark and gritty Gotham alive.

The director didn’t reveal the exact month, but he did confirm that production for the sequel will kick off in early 2025.
