Here's What The Movie Is About

Matt Reeves is currently working on a Batman sequel, which he will direct and co-write with Robert Pattinson, who has returned to the role of Batman. Details of the project's plot remain a secret for now, but Reeves expressed excitement about working on the script:

"My partner and I are deep in it and I'm excited about what we're going to do".

As a reminder, in addition to the sequel, the Batman saga will be joined by a spin-off called "The Penguin" starring Colin Farrell. The series is confirmed to debut on streaming platform Max and will be released in 2024.
