Matt Reeves, the director of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-batman-review-have-time-can-watch-459458">'The Batman',</a> 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.”

'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.

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."

Colin Farrell, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, and Andy Serkis were also featured in the film's cast.

Meanwhile, as you wait for 'The Batman 2', you might find comfort in the fact that an entire cinematic universe, which we can christen Batverse, based on the world created by Reeves is in development.

We also know similar series on Gotham City Police Department and Arkham Asylum are in various stages of development as well.

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

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.

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.

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."

Farrell recently spoke to Collider and described his Penguin series with adjectives like "tasty" and "unusual". He said, "Shooting here in New York. I think if it goes ahead, I read the first episode, which is just so tasty and so unusual as the character was on the page and what Matt Reeves kind of envisioned when he was thinking of this iteration of the bang up of Oz. So yeah, it’ll be, I think six or eight hours. I’m supposed to read episode two and three within the next week."

Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' sequel will not arrive until 2025. Here's why

With Robert Pattinson-starrer 'The Batman' writer-director Matt Reeves did not just make a movie on the iconic DC superhero, he also kicked off a whole new cinematic universe involving Batman, supporting characters like James Gordon, and his rogues gallery of supervillains. For instance, there is a TV series on the character Oswald Cobblepot or Penguin is in development, with Colin Farrell set to return. Now, as per a 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.&nbsp;

As per THR, Reeves is in contact with writers and directors for movies on characters like Scarecrow, Clayface, and Professor Pyg. While Scarecrow is pretty well-known other two will be known only to diehard fans of Batman. The report said the projects are in the "very early" stages of development. This sounds like a cool idea, especially since Bat-villains, with the notable exception of Joker, have sadly gotten short-shrift treatment in live-action, and these characters have great potential if a decent scribe is in charge.

In many stories, these villainous characters end up outdoing even the hero of the story.

'The Batman', released in March this year, was a significant success for Warner Bros. It brought in $770.8 million in worldwide box office returns. Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, and Andy Serkis, were also in the film's cast.

Wion's review of 'The Batman' was positive. A section of the review read, "At almost three hours, 'The Batman' is a long movie. But the slow burn never bores you or anyone in the movie hall. Pattinson has started coming of age and DC Universe has definitely managed to not shoot itself in the foot."

Meanwhile, Farrell recently spoke to Collider and described his Penguin series with adjectives like "tasty" and "unusual". He said, "Shooting here in New York.
