I've never been a big fan of Batman, but I did enjoy the Nolan series.

If we go by early reviews, it does seem like a slam dunk that there would be a sequel. It also shows how WB/DC keep on going back to the Batman well since it's such a popular character.

How many actors has it been now since 1989 (cinematic versions)? Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck, and Pattinson...

Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck, and Pattinson...

You forgot Will Arnett.

You forgot Will Arnett.

And the greatest of them all: Kevin Conroy.

Sequel officially announced at Cinemacon

 

[Tommy R]

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed The Batman, but could this one be, like, an hour and forty tops?

I just saw the first one a few days ago and it felt like the movie ended at a certain point so the next hour (?) or so made the movie feel even longer to me. It's not a bad movie by any stretch but I would have liked it a lot more if it had been much shorter.

 

[Jake Lipson]

This is not a surprise. But it is still good to have officially confirmed anyway. I really like what Matt Reeves did with the first film and look forward to seeing more of his vision of Gotham and the progression of these characters.

Also, this appears to have the distinction of being the first official greenlight from the new Warner Bros. Discovery company management.

Be patient, Tommy, eventually everybody will have a turn at playing Batman in a movie.

Can we please not go back to the joker again for this one?

 

[Joe Wong]

Maybe, if they are to use the Joker, and with him already in prison, he'll act like a Hannibal Lecter type, where Batman comes to him on occasion for his knowledge of the criminal underground (as shown in the deleted scene). And who knows, maybe he breaks out (like Hannibal does in Silence of the Lambs!) to set the stage for The Batman 3 (maybe not as the main villain, but someone who haunts Bruce).

Barry Keoghan has tough shoes to fill, since the actors who have played the Joker in live-action films since 1989 (Nicholson, Ledger, Leto, and Phoenix) are all Oscar-winners, with Ledger and Phoenix winning for playing the very part. So Batman's #1 nemesis (arguably), given his psychological complexity, suggests the enlistment of an Oscar-calibre actor. Go for it, Mr Keoghan!!

I saw this a few days ago... I'd absolutely go see this one in the theater...

I don't mind dark toned Batman, it just goes too far when you apply it to Superman and the rest of the DC characters as well.
