Matt Reeves Gives The Batman 2 Script Progress Update

A sequel to Matt Reeves' The Batman was announced last year, but little information regarding the sequel has been released. In a recent interview, however, the director confirmed that he is in the process of writing the film.

During a chat with Collider, Reeves was asked about the upcoming sequel. Although he didn't dive into too much detail, Reeves did confirm that he and Mattson Tomlin - who was an uncredited writer on the first film - are writing the sequel.

"We're deep into it and my partner and I are writing, Mattson [Tomlin] and I are writing, and it's really exciting, and I'm really excited about what we're doing," the director said.

Reeves also briefly touched on the return of Robert Pattinson, who played Bruce Wayne/Batman in the film. The director didn't reveal much, but noted that he was "really excited to do this with Rob, because I just think he's such a special person and actor."

While the current nature of DC Studios and its future releases are unknown, it looks like Reeves' The Batman universe will continue to expand. Along with the film's sequel, a series based on The Penguin - set to star Colin Farrell as he reprises his role from the original film - is also in development.
