'The Batman 2' in early talks, confirms Matt Reeves
The world premiere of The Batman took place earlier this week in London and while on the red carpet, The Independent spoke to Matt Reeves about The Batman 2. Reeves replied and said, "I really believe in what we’ve done and I’d be excited to tell more stories… We are already telling other stories in the streaming space, we’re doing stuff on HBO Max, we’re doing a Penguin show with Colin [Farrell], which is gonna be super cool. And we’re working on some other stuff too but we have started talking about another movie."
Earlier in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reeves opened up about building a Batverse around Gotham city starting with the upcoming instalment of Batman. Even though The Batman isn’t set in the DCEU, the director said he would like to expand the Batverse, Reeves said, "What I really wanted this movie to do is create a Batverse ... You don't do a story and go, 'This is Chapter 1' because you might not get to do Chapter 2. So, the story had to stand on its own." He added, "But the thing about it is that the Bat world is so rich with character that as you're starting to come to an end, you can already start thinking about the next thing. Because the idea, of course, is that Gotham's story never ends."
