The Batman sequel Plot

The upcoming drama will follow the events after the first film and the chaos that ensued after the big revelations made in the previous movie. 

Talking about the sequel's plot, Reeves told Digital Spy, "There's a lot of unrest and there's a lot of clamouring because of the revelations of what we find out at the end of the [first] movie. There's unrest in the streets to say, 'Well, how could this be?''. 

Further talking about the movie, he wrote, "As we enter into the next movie, there's a lot more grey. There's a lot more people at odds. There’s a lot more division in the city. It's a lot more like our world is now.''
