Matt Reeves has shared some new details about Batman II part -And almost confirmed whether to see Bat-Hesses will be folded in the DC (DCU) universe.
In statements to Josh Horowitz on the red carpet of the Emmy 2025 awards, the coguionist and the film director revealed that the franchise led by Robert Pattinson will not become part of James Gunn and the nascent film universe of Peter Safran.
Responding to Horowitz’s comment that Reeves de Gunn appointed names as someone who the co-chief of DC Studios would like to direct a film inside his superhero franchise restarted by Safran, Reeves said: “I am very flattered. That is really James to say and it would really be exciting to work with him. I mean, we are working with him. [story] But it is still DC [a DC Studios] production]then it is yours [Gunn and Safran’s] also.”

Reeves’s response will be a dagger for the hearts of fans who expected the Batman (TBEC) epic crime saga, that is the official name of Bat-Hesses of Reeves, would merge with the DCU.
For months, fans have discussed whether the TBECs would join the DCU and officially induce Bruce Wayne de Pattinson and his crime combat alter ego in the new Gunn and Safran franchise. Despite a great DCU update that Gunn and Safran gave in February, which saw the former insistent that Pattinson would not become the Batman of his universe as well.
Last month, a suggested foundation report The Batman 2 It would include one of the most famous allies of Caballero Dark in Robin, which turns out to be part of The brave and the boldAlso known as the film one of DCU, starring Batman, which is still in early development. Gunn quickly refuted that report at that time, but he did little to cushion the speculation that a fusion would occur.
With two Batman properties in development in DC Studios, some fans also believe that the general public could be confused about different versions of the crusader with existing layers simultaneously on the big screen. Pray TBECS in the DCU, then, it would be an easy way to solve this dilemma in the eyes of some.
It is true that this problem has not been resolved by Reeves’s latest comments on the matter. However, they finally provide a closure on the perennial debate about a possible fusion and, for my part, I am glad to finish.
A villain mockery for the next enemy of the great bat
That was not the only revealing information that Reeves provided about its next big screen project.
In August, the CEO of Warner Bros., David Zaslav revealed that the cameras would begin to roll Batman II part In early 2026. Speaking with Horowitz, Reeves gave a more concrete response about its production start date by saying that filming would begin “at the end of April or early May.”
Then there is the mystery about who will be the main antagonist of the film. The BatmanThe main villain was the Riddler but, given the size of the Rogues de la Superhero gallery, the Big Bad of his sequel could be any number of supervillains.
As expected, Reeves did not say which of them he had been chosen as the main enemy of Bruce Wayne and his superhuman alias, but mocked that he could be someone who never appeared in a live action Batman movie.
“One of the explorations for me was to do something that pushes even more Bruce Wayne’s character,” Reeves said. “The first story is a lot about Batman, so I always wanted, in the movies, make sure we get it, let’s say we can do three and I have no idea [if we will] – But if we can do three, I always wanted the movies to concentrate on his character.
“Once you overcome the history of origin, which we did not do at all, but we did something that referred to its origins, you begin to tell the story of the Rogues gallery,” Reeves continued, “and I never wanted [and] He enters his past and his life, that is what promoted that discussion. I will not say who we finish with, but never before in a movie, so we are very excited. “
So who could be? An individual who immediately comes to mind is silence, who has great ties with Bruce Wayne in comics? Then there is the rich secret society with headquarters in Gotham called The Court of Owls. Wayne, a fairly recent addition to Batman’s Rogues Gallery, believes that they were accomplices of the death of their parents in the renewal ‘The New 52’ of DC Comics. None of the parties have appeared in a live action movie before and, given their links to the Wayne himself, they fit both criteria to which Reeves alluded.
But what do you think? Who could The Batman 2Will the villain be? Answer me in the comments.
