Andy Serkis Reveals He Knows the Plot of ‘The Batman Part II’—But Won’t Spill the Beans!

by

Enthusiasts of DC comics can hardly contain their excitement for news about Matt Reeves’ follow-up to “The Batman”. However, it seems that the reliable butler, Alfred Pennyworth (portrayed by Andy Serkis), is privy to what lies ahead in the next chapter. The initial film, “The Batman”, garnered remarkable acclaim, establishing Robert Pattinson as a standout portrayal of Bruce Wayne on the big screen. With the recent surge of popularity from HBO’s “The Penguin” spin-off, anticipation for “The Batman Part II” has never been more tangible.

The situation regarding the script of “The Batman Part II” is somewhat vague at the moment. While some sources claim that the script has been finalized, others speculate that it’s still being worked on. However, during a recent event at MegaCon 2025 (via Love Our Life), actor Andy Serkis hinted at the film’s script by stating that director Matt Reeves shared with him details about the upcoming movie. Intriguingly, Serkis expressed his eagerness for the film, saying, “I am just as excited about it as you all are,” and then casually mentioned, “Matt Reeves has told me what happens in the next film.

As a dedicated cinephile, I had the privilege of sitting down with Matt Reeves to discuss ‘The Penguin.’ But what truly set my heart racing was when he shared the plot details for ‘The Batman 2.’ I can hardly contain my excitement for this sequel!

If the revelation wasn’t tantalizing enough, Serkis added, “Well, let me put it this way… I’m not going to spill the beans.” The crowd burst into laughter, tinged with a touch of envy, as Serkis remained seated on stage for the remainder of the panel, aware that everyone present was eagerly anticipating the plot of The Batman Part II. It’s been confirmed that Pattinson will reprise his role as Bruce Wayne in the sequel, along with Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth. Even though the script for the film may not be fully written yet, Reeves is determined that production on the sequel will commence this year. The fact that Serkis knows the plot already should be an encouraging sign of the movie’s progress in development.

‘The Batman Part II’ Features a “Surprising” Villain

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but be intrigued by the enigma that surrounds “The Batman Part II” – specifically, its villain. In the previous film, Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) was subtly introduced as a misdirection for Batman, while it was actually Paul Dano’s Riddler who emerged as the primary adversary. Interestingly, the Joker, portrayed by Barry Keoghan, made a tantalizing appearance at the end of the movie, with additional details hinted in a cut scene.

It is widely speculated that the Joker might serve as the main antagonist in “The Batman Part II,” similar to how Heath Ledger’s villain was set up in “Batman Begins” and then fully developed in “The Dark Knight” by Christopher Nolan. However, it seems that Matt Reeves may be planning an unconventional route. Despite not yet disclosing the villain, Reeves has hinted at a direction for the film that might surprise many fans, as he described the villain of “The Batman Part II” as “surprising” to fans.

As a cinephile, I occasionally glance over the buzz surrounding online speculations, thinking, “That’s their take now? Fascinating. Alright then.” But I simply focus on my work, striving to deliver my best.
