‘The Batman 2’ Set at Warner Bros., Matt Reeves Returning to Direct Sequel with Robert Pattinson
During its CinemaCon presentation, Warner Bros. revealed that the sequel to 2022 hit “The Batman” is officially underway.

It’s like Sony wants to make clear that “Spider-Man: No Way Home” still reigns despite “The Batman” debuting on HBO Max and PVOD.
“The Batman” dropped on HBO Max April 18 — the same day as PVOD, where it arrived without advance promotion or presale. That’s intentional, but is it a smart strategy?
“The Batman” should debut on PVOD next week but for now Ti West’s A24 title “X” is the only new PVOD release.
Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” may not have had an after-credits stinger, but a newly released deleted scene opens the door for a sequel with Keoghan.
The limited comic series “Riddler: Year One” will be released in October.
“The Batman” is still #1, but #2 is Japanese anime film “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” which outgrossed “X,” “The Outfit,” and “Umma” combined.
ILM’s StageCraft volume system created detailed cityscapes, while Weta digitally augmented the Batmobile chase, including virtually recreating some funky in-camera effects.
Even for “The Batman,” theaters would only have a 46-day theatrical exclusive — but it’s better than nothing as studios prioritize streamers.
AMC’s variable pricing means not all films are equal, a theory that could damage the fragile movie business.
But one standout: a non-movie (a BTS concert film, in fact) breaks through in an otherwise niche-heavy lineup.
“It made the character almost make more sense,” Pattinson said of foregoing the womanizer alter ego.
