"Director of 'The Batman 2' hints at a fresh antagonist yet to appear on the big screen"
In the world of DC films, exciting developments are on the horizon, particularly for Robert Pattinson's Batman. James Gunn, the mind behind the new DC Universe, recently discussed the possibility of a future film featuring Pattinson's Batman and Corenswet's Superman.
The first instalment of The Batman, released in 2022, was a resounding success, both critically and at the box office. The film, starring Pattinson, Paul Dano, and Colin Farrell, received a four-star review from NME, which praised it for not retreading Bruce Wayne's origin story.
However, the sequel to The Batman finds itself in a state of flux. Despite the initial success, the production of The Batman 2 has been progressing slowly, a fact that Gunn has previously defended.
One thing that is clear is that the sequel will exist on a separate timeline from the new DC Universe, which launched this summer with Gunn's Superman. The DC Universe, which did not include The Batman's sequel, is a new era for DC films.
As for the villain in The Batman 2, DC and director Matt Reeves have hinted that it will be a first-time film villain, distinct from the likes of Joker, Bane, or Mr. Freeze. While the main unknown villain for The Batman 2 is not yet confirmed, the new Joker will be portrayed by Barry Keoghan.
Recently, Gunn debunked rumours about Robin appearing in The Batman 2. The identity of the main villain remains a mystery, adding to the anticipation for the upcoming film.
Stay tuned for more updates on The Batman sequel and the new DC Universe.
