Robert Pattinson Teases Secret Plot of ‘The Batman Part II’

by

Audience members should not anticipate seeing “The Batman Part II” on the big screen anytime before 2027, as its release is currently planned for late in that year. Fortunately, recent communications from writer and director Matt Reeves along with actor Robert Pattinson suggest that this delayed date will not be postponed again a third time. Pattinson has also shared that he now understands what his role in the forthcoming “Batman” sequel entails.

During a conversation with ExtraTV at the London debut of his new movie, “Mickey 17,” Robert Pattinson discussed the progress of “The Batman Part II.” Although filming hasn’t started yet, he revealed that he now understands the general direction the sequel will take. Speaking about the scriptwriter, Pattinson remarked, “Matt is meticulous with his writing,” hinting that some key details might still be under wraps until production officially begins. He further expressed, “It’s very intriguing, and I can’t wait to see it unfold.” From this brief discussion, it appears that the plot of “The Batman Part II” may hold several unexpected twists for even seasoned DC fans, given director Matt Reeves’ keenness on keeping the script under wraps, even from Pattinson himself.

But I finally now know what it’s about.

Even though Robert Pattinson’s recent update about The Batman Part II may not be packed with specific details, it’s still a significant step forward. Just a short while ago, he admitted knowing very little about the movie other than his role in it. It’s likely that director Matt Reeves wouldn’t have revealed any information about The Batman Part II to Pattinson unless the script was nearly or completely done. This suggests that production is moving forward as planned, with reports indicating it may start later this year, as previously reported by Pattinson and various media sources.

What Can We Expect From ‘The Batman Part II’?

With it confirmed that “The Batman Part II” starts filming this year, fans are now focusing on what the movie itself might entail. Ever since the suspenseful ending of the first movie in 2022, there have been many theories about who Robert Pattinson’s next adversary will be. However, director Matt Reeves has hinted in an interview that most guesses so far have been off target. This suggests that popular choices like Hush, Clayface, and Mr. Freeze are unlikely to appear, as well as my personal favorite theory about the Court of Owls. Although Reeves may not have seen every prediction about the next “Batman” villain, his suggestion that the eventual reveal will be unexpected and entirely different isn’t promising for online detectives.

In regards to the upcoming film “The Batman Part II,” while we can’t be entirely sure about its plot details, there are some educated predictions. In a previous interview, director Matt Reeves mentioned that he intends to maintain a realistic portrayal of Gotham, keeping fantastical characters at bay. This suggests that the city’s criminal underworld will play a significant role. The gritty, mafia-esque feel of The Penguin character hints that Reeves may focus on developing the city’s street-level gangsters and complex crime families. Moreover, considering the political corruption and societal issues highlighted in the original Batman film, the villain for Part II might mirror these themes, possibly reflecting contemporary socio-political concerns as well.

Although Reeves expressed a different viewpoint in his interview, I remain convinced of the Court of Owls theory because they’re an elite group consisting solely of Gotham’s richest and most prominent citizens. By utilizing their economic and social influence to carry out brutal acts of violence, the Court of Owls symbolically stands against nearly everything Pattinson’s Batman embodies. A villain like this would resonate with contemporary concerns while continuing the themes introduced in the original Batman series; however, we can only wait to see if Reeves intends to follow that path.
