Is Matt Reeves' The Batman Trilogy Still Moving Forward As Planned? The Director Shares An Update

As a die-hard Batman fan with over three decades of watching, reading, and immersing myself in the Caped Crusader’s world, I can’t help but feel a sense of exhilaration at the prospect of Robert Pattinson’s take on Batman continuing its journey. Having lived through the various iterations of Batman, from Michael Keaton to Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and now Pattinson, each portrayal brings something unique to the table that resonates with fans in different ways.

In contrast to the upcoming DC movie “The Brave and the Bold” featuring a new Batman, the portrayal of Robert Pattinson’s Batman remains promising. After the debut of “The Batman” in 2022, “The Batman: Part II,” set for release in 2026, will bring this interpretation of Gotham City’s protector back into the spotlight. Director and co-writer Matt Reeves had initially conceived this Batman storyline as a trilogy, and although there have been adjustments to this segment of the DC universe since then, he has reaffirmed that the trilogy plan is still in effect.

Reeves shared an update with Collider, stating that they are adhering tightly to the vision they originally had. This follows fan speculation about potential alterations to the planned release of The Penguin, which can be streamed with a Max subscription, possibly influencing any changes in the director’s initial blueprint. As he clarified:

The narrative took a new direction when we conceived The Penguin project. This tale was meant to be an extension of Penguin’s ongoing story, focusing on his early rise to power, a contrast to how he is initially portrayed in The Batman as a relatively insignificant, underestimated character who has not yet gained the notoriety we associate with him in the lore. This deliberate choice was made so that I could explore the origins of these lesser-known characters, particularly those in the Rogues Gallery, and this story was intended to serve as a prelude to the next film.
