7 Biggest Rumors About The Batman Part II, Ranked

by

While fans are eagerly awaiting The Batman Part II, very little information about the sequel has been released. The 2022 film The Batman revitalized the superhero genre with Robert Pattinson as a new take on the Dark Knight. Its realistic and gritty approach to the character’s story was a hit with audiences and considered one of the best recent DC adaptations. However, despite a sequel being announced soon after the first film’s release, updates have been scarce, leaving fans frustrated.

Even though details about the next Batman movie haven’t been released yet, fans are still buzzing with anticipation. Robert Pattinson’s return as Batman is particularly exciting, and as people wait for official news about the sequel, interesting rumors about The Batman Part II are starting to spread.

7) Robert Pattinson Will Become The DCU Batman

Details about Batman’s future in the DC Universe are still under wraps. While rumors suggest Robert Pattinson might continue his role as the Dark Knight in the new franchise led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, this seems unlikely. Both Gunn and director Matt Reeves have repeatedly denied these claims, but the rumor persists among fans.

6) Batman Will Team Up With A Villain

Matt Reeves has hinted that the next Batman movie will push the hero into morally complex situations, presenting challenges Bruce Wayne and Batman haven’t dealt with before. Many fans speculate this could mean Batman will be forced to team up with one of his enemies. While previous Batman films have featured memorable villains, none have actually required the hero to work with them. This is just one theory about the sequel, but it’s gaining traction as a likely possibility.

5) The Batman Part II Will Adapt The Long Halloween

There’s a strong rumor that the next Batman movie will be inspired by the comic book story The Long Halloween. This idea gained traction because Harvey Dent is expected to appear in the sequel. Fans think using this story would keep the detective-focused tone of the first film while deepening our understanding of Gotham City. While the movie probably won’t follow the comic exactly, many believe The Long Halloween will be a key influence on The Batman Part II.

4) The Joker Will Play A Major Role

Several actors have played the Joker in live-action movies, and The Batman hinted at what’s next for the character. While we only heard his voice in the final cut of the film, a deleted scene confirmed Barry Keoghan as the new Joker. Although details about his role in the sequel are limited, many fans expect him to be a key player. There’s no solid proof yet, but the idea seems plausible.

3) Harvey & Mrs Dent Will Feature Heavily

A strong rumor suggests Scarlett Johansson will join the cast of The Batman Part II as Gilda Dent, the wife of Harvey Dent. This fits well with the storyline of The Long Halloween and has increased speculation that Two-Face will also appear in the sequel. The reports about Johansson’s role make it seem even more likely that both Harvey and Gilda Dent will play significant parts in the movie.

2) Robin Will Appear

There’s a lot of talk about whether The Batman Part II will finally include Robin, Batman’s famous sidekick. Many fans feel Batman movies haven’t been quite right without Robin, so the idea of him appearing in the sequel is exciting. It’s still unconfirmed, but including Robin would likely be a welcome addition for audiences.

1) The Court of Owls Will Be The Villain

Given how formidable the Court of Owls are as Batman villains, the buzz about them appearing in The Batman Part II isn’t surprising. The first film subtly introduced the idea of a hidden society, and many fans think the Court of Owls would be a great addition to Matt Reeves’ dark take on Gotham City. Rumors strongly suggest they’re the most likely new villains for the sequel, and a lot of people are eager to see them brought to life on screen.
