Matt Reeves' The Batman released in March 2022 to huge success, introducing Robert Pattinson as a new version of the Caped Crusader, who had been fighting crime in Gotham City for two years before facing Paul Dano's serial killer, the Riddler.

While several spinoffs are in development, including TV shows focused on Colin Farrell's Penguin, Arkham Asylum, Gotham City Police Department and other members of Batman's DC Comics rogues gallery, a direct sequel was also announced at CinemaCon in 2022. Matt Reeves' The Batman - Part II will mark the return of Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, and other The Batman cast members have also signed on to reprise their roles.
