The Batman 2 has officially been anounced at CinemaCon, and alongside bringing you this news,
there's some smaller details and things that I wanted to discuss surrounding the sequel to

lets dive into all the news surrounding the confirmation of The Batman 2.
So The Batman 2 is officially on the way with Matt Reeves returning as director, Robert Pattinson as
Batman and Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman. Warner Bros Boss Toby Emmerich announced the news
today during their CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, and this comes soon after the film
had grossed a worldwide total of $760 million and a high viewership on HBO Max during it's
first week of around 4.1 million. This was of course much higher than the day and date movies
Warner Bros released on HBO Max and theatres simultaneously. And in addition to The
Batman's viewership, the movie was widely praised by critics and audiences with a solid
85% on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- CinemaScore. Coming up, The Batman will also expand to
streaming shows on HBO Max with the Penguin spinoff series starring Collin Farrell,
which Reeves is producing too, and it will focus on Gotham
City's underworld as a prequel and sequel. During the presentation, director Matt Reeves took
to the stage and said to cinemagoers, “Thank you all for your tremendous support for The Batman.
We couldn’t have gotten here without the faith and enthusiasm of all your teams
around the world. I’m excited to jump back into this world for the next chapter.” The filmmaker
will of course direct the project, but he also announced that he is currently writing
it too, with no current details about what the movie will be about. After the film was the
first for Warner Bros to return to a theatrical release, following it's 2021 slate being put on
HBO Max at the same time, unless things change, the sequel will be in cinemas for 45 days before
it comes out on streaming service, just like the strategy of the first film.
So what can we expect from The Batman 2. Well, while no plot details for the film
were announced at CinemaCon, we are sure to see more of the characters from the first one.
This includes Zoe Kravitz Catwoman who was confirmed to be back, and Reeves did share
some details on her character a few weeks ago in his director's commentary. When speaking of the
final scene, he said, "they are two people who want to be together but they’re not going to be.
And that of course leads into the deliciousness of when they’ll meet again and how the
next time they meet they might be even further on opposite sides." So when she returns, she will
likely be the opposite in morality to Batman, maybe even the more villainous side of her
character shinning through. It will be interesting to see what they do with their relationship
going forward, but as Reeves confirms, she's definitely going to be back for the sequel.
Then there's Barry Keoghan’s Joker, who was more greatly revealed in a deleted scene released a
few weeks after the film came out. Again, I don't think he'll be a main villain, but I
would predict that he will at least make an appearance in the second film. And speaking
of villains, It's going to be intriguing to see who Reeves tackles in The Batman 2. Will it be
the court of owls, mr freeze, hush or someone else. It's yet to be seen but
those announcements should come as we get closer to the release date.
And speaking of the release date, when might The Batman 2 be coming out? I've been asked
this a few times over the last day since the announcement, and while they don't have a release
date for the film with Reeves still writing the script in it's early stages, I would have
to predict that they would look to release it sometime in 2024 or 2025. It really depends
on the process and what Reeves is looking to do with the sequel, and I'm sure that like the
first one he'll want to really take his time to build out a well developed story. 2025 seems
a likely bet with all the work that needs to commence. This isn't like Dune Part 2, in which
Denis Villeneuve had already wrote part of the script prior to it's announcement, as Reeves
has only just begun those stages. So we will soon see what lies in store for the film
and I also wonder what they'll end up titling it too. This could even come next year at CinemaCon
because did say we'd be hearing more then. Will the title be The Batman: Part 2 or The Batman
something or other. Or will Reeves take the other route of calling it The Caped Crusader,
similar to how Christopher Nolan went from Batman Begins to The Dark Knight. Again,
we'll have to see, but all these smaller deatils will be confirmed over the next year or 2, and
before we know it The Batman 2 will be hitting theatres, for hopefully another successful run.
But that was my video discussing the confirmation of The Batman 2. With it now happening and the
ending of the first film opening up many possibilities, Matt Reeves can go in any
direction he wants. That alongside the HBO Max shows and opportunities for a new trilogy,
means that we are going to go even deeper into this new Gotham, Bruce Wayne's journey and the
caped crusader's infamous rogues gallery. Again, I have complete faith in Matt Reeves bringing us
a great story in the sequel, and hopefully, it'll even turn out better than the first
one. We'll have to see, but it seems that Warner Bros are going full steam ahead with the Matt
Reeves related Batman projects, and I couldn't be happier. But let me know down below in
