As for “The Batman” sequel, the director said it’s “going to dig into the epic story about deeper corruption, and it goes into places that he couldn’t anticipate in the first one. The seeds of where this goes are all in the first movie. It expands in a way that will show you aspects of the character you never got to see.”
“Batman is constantly battling these forces. But those forces can’t be entirely exorcised. So the next movie delves deeper into that,” he added.
The Penguin will be back in the new movie, but whether or not more Batman villains pop up remains to be seen. Fans have called for Reeves to add the supernatural villain Gentleman Ghost to the sequel, but he told SFX that will not be happening as it does not fit with his grounded take on the comics.
