<p>Matt Reeves, the director of <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-batman-review-have-time-can-watch-459458">'The Batman',</a></strong> has confirmed that he is working on the sequel to the Robert Pattinson-starrer DC movie. While the sequel was announced soon after the first film was released and it became apparent&nbsp;it was going to be a success, this is the first news we have that&nbsp;the film is already in development. Reeves revealed the same while speaking to Collider. He first teased by saying he is working on "a movie". But then he said the said movie is 'The Batman' and added, “We're deep in it and my partner and I are writing, Mattson [Tomlin] and I are writing, and it's really exciting, and I'm really excited about what we're doing.”</p>

<p>'The Batman' was a reboot of the franchise but wisely stepped away from an origin story — we have seen that Crime Alley Wayne murders too many times on the screen to be interested now — but still told the story of a young Caped Crusader coming to terms with his grief-fuelled rage and violence. The film was a hit with critics, and was a commercial success as well. It grossed more than $770 million in box office returns.</p>

<p>It scored 85 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregation site. The critical consensus read, "A grim, gritty, and gripping super-noir, The Batman ranks among the Dark Knight's bleakest -- and most thrillingly ambitious -- live-action outings."</p>

'The Batman 2' is in development, confirms director Matt Reeves

<p>Matt Reeves' 'The Batman', which released earlier this year, was one of the best movies on the superhero, which is saying something for Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan's Bat-movies also exist. Fronted by Robert Pattinson, the film was a reboot of the franchise but wisely stepped away from an origin story -- we have seen that Crime Alley Wayne murders too many times on the screen to be interested now -- but stil told the story of a young Caped Crusader coming to terms with his grief-fulled rage and violence.

<p>Despite the positive response, the sequel to the movie will not arrive until 2025, as per Variety, since the script is not completed. Reeves is writing the script with Mattson Tomlin.&nbsp;This may come as a surprise for newer superhero movie fans, but it is par for the course for Bat-movies. For there was a three-year gap between Burton's 1989 film 'Batman' and 1992 film 'Batman Returns'. Similarly, 'Batman Begins' (2005) was followed by 'The Dark Knight' in 2008 which in turn was followed by 'The Dark Knight Rises' in 2012. It takes time to develop Batman movies for they typically follow a distinctive vision and cannot, like Marvel Cinematic Universe movies for instance, be churned out yearly using a formula.</p>

<p>As per a recent report in The Hollywood Reporter, "Matt Reeves may also be spearheading movies on several supervillains that inhabit the seedy streets of Gotham City and often come into conflict with the Caped Crusader. Many Bat-villains have horror potential, something Reeves excels in."</p>

<p>Farrell recently spoke to Collider and described his Penguin series with adjectives like "tasty" and "unusual". He said, "Shooting here in New York.

So yeah, it’ll be, I think six or eight hours. I’m supposed to read episode two and three within the next week."</p>
