We are a few weeks away from the release of the highly anticipated Matt Reeves film, The Batman. Without a single dollar made at the box-office outside of presales, it’s safe to say Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson will almost certainly be back for another installment. Pattinson has already said that he would “do this for as many times as people want to see it” and that he and director Matt Reeves have already discussed making a trilogy.
The exicting part of this trilogy are the characters Reeves will be able to tackle. While speaking with Collider, The Batman director Matt Reeves said that although he wants to keep The Batman sequel grounded, there’s still room for more fantastical characters such as Mr. Freeze.
“In my view, I just feel drawn to finding the grounded version of everything. So to me it would be a challenge in an interesting way to try and figure out how that could happen, even the idea of something like Mr. Freeze, that such a great story, right? I think there’s actually a grounded version of that story, which could be really powerful and could be really great.
“So, I love the fantastical side of Batman, but this iteration, obviously, while being, to me, I think it is very comics faithful, but I don’t think that this one is necessarily, it doesn’t lean as hard into the fantastical, I guess. But I think to me what would be interesting would be to try and unwind the fantastical and see, well, how could that make sense here? And so that’s kind of my view, how I see it.”
