The Batman (2022) Sequel Latest Information
How will Warner continue the highest-grossing movie in 2022?
After being declared as being the biggest hit of 2022 so far, it’s no surprise that The Batman is getting a sequel. Grossing over $752 million, Warner would naturally want to continue Robert Pattinson’s Batman saga. Although not much has been announced about the upcoming sequel, there are a few points worth mentioning.
Possible plot points of The Batman sequel
The Batman (2022) only scratched the surface of the immense corruption that takes place in Gotham city. Therefore it’s safe to assume that we will see an even deeper side to the corruption that Batman has to face. This is a lot different from the other crime-fighting scenarios. Instead of simply defeating the next “bad guy” the hero is met with, he has to fight the messed-up system. Robert Pattinson’s Batman definitely tackles a lot more politics than the other Batmen’s. People don’t seem to hate it as it’s already the highest-grossing movie in 2022.
That being said, surely we’ll see more of the Penguin in the sequel. You would imagine that the sequel would be based around the Joker and the Riddler as the ending of The Batman clearly hinted at it. Sadly, director Matt Reeves announced that the Joker and the Riddler will be explored deeper in the upcoming HBO Max show based on the Arkham-Asylum.
Possible characters
Obviously, Robert Pattinson will be playing Batman in the sequel (hopefully, otherwise it would make it quite strange). More excitingly, it may not be a reach to say that we can hope to see Robin on the screen once again. How else would DC make this Batman stand out from the others? Most other plausible answers are less likely and this type of corruption-fighting requires a trusty sidekick. It’s not confirmed but it seems very possible, maybe DC is finally willing to use their trump card to try and keep up with the previous Batmen sagas.
Closing thoughts
We don’t know any definite facts about the sequel to The Batman (2022). However, we also know some things are more possible than others. Director Reeves said that the sequel will definitely come out in the next 5 years. This may seem like a long time but they promised other content surrounding Gotham. For example, the Arkham-Asylum-based HBO Max TV show.
