In “The Batman: Part II,” the antagonist remains a captivating enigma for the detective prowess of the Dark Knight. The sequel to Matt Reeves’ “Batman,” first revealed in 2022, has kept its principal villain concealed, despite the impending production of the Batman Epic Crime Saga’s next installment in 2025, set for release in 2027. Although we know that “Batman 2” will follow the narrative threads of “The Penguin” series (which serves as a bridge between the two films featuring Robert Pattinson), this continuation places Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot as the new ruler of Gotham City and Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone — half-sister to Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman — in Arkham Asylum, along with Paul Dano’s Riddler and Barry Keoghan’s Joker.
2025 saw Reeves expressing his enthusiasm for an upcoming project during the Golden Globes. He told MTV News, “We’ll be unveiling this year, and I must say, I’m thrilled! There are numerous elements in play, which have led to a somewhat prolonged process than I initially anticipated. However, my eagerness about what we’re creating is sky-high. So, I can hardly wait to reveal it all to everyone.
Reeves hinted that the villain might come as a surprise: “I certainly hope so, and I believe it will. The story continues in some aspects but is completely new in others, revealing various facets of Rob. It’s going to be thrilling and awesome!
It has been whispered that some of the antagonists could be Harvey Dent before he became Two-Face, Thomas Elliot/Hush who is deeply fascinated with Bruce Wayne, and even Clayface, a chameleon-like character, who will lead his own film in the DC Universe overseen by Peter Safran and James Gunn.
As a movie reviewer, I’d put it like this: “I take online speculations with a pinch of salt, usually raising an eyebrow and thinking, ‘Is that the consensus now? Fascinating.’ Yet, I simply focus on my work, striving to do it to the best of my ability.
In September, it was confirmed that Penguin, portrayed by Farrell, will reappear in “The Batman 2”. His upcoming eight-episode TV series serves as a prelude or starting point for the sequel.
As a devoted cinephile, I’m thrilled to share some intriguing insights from director Matt Reeves about the upcoming Batman film. He hinted to SFX Magazine that certain elements in the movie tie directly into its opening sequence, and when Oz makes his entrance, we’re essentially passing the torch back to Batman who’s engrossed in another mystery. Reeves also dropped a tantalizing hint that the sequel will delve deeper into the sordid tale of corruption, venturing into realms unforeseen in the first installment. The groundwork for this journey is all laid out in the initial movie, expanding upon aspects of Batman’s character we’ve never been privy to before.
In the upcoming film, Batman continues his ongoing struggle against powerful forces. However, it’s impossible to completely eliminate these forces. Therefore, the movie will explore this issue more in-depth, as noted by Reeves.
A character that won’t fit in Reeves’ realistic world: The Mysterious Phantom Villain, who appeared in the animated series “Batman: Caped Crusader” produced by Reeves, is not the type of supernatural adversary that will be incorporated into his dark and tangible universe.
As a film enthusiast, my primary aim was to breathe life into these iconic pop figures, these legendary characters that resonate with everyone, in a way that makes Gotham feel like a tangible part of our reality. While we might tiptoe towards the fringe of fantasy, we’ll never fully immerse ourselves in it. The storyline is intended to remain firmly rooted. Rest assured, you will still recognize and love these characters, that much is certain.
Regarding the Gentleman Ghost, we may have stretched the boundaries a bit too far for our current capabilities. However, there’s an intriguing concept in considering how we could introduce characters that verge on the fantastical and make them relatable and plausible.
Warner Bros. has scheduled The Batman: Part II to open in theaters on Oct. 1, 2027.
