Скачать или смотреть Matt Reeves Teases More ‘Batman’ Spinoffs — But ‘The Batman 2’ Comes First

On the Emmys red carpet, “The Batman” director Matt Reeves tells IndieWire’s Christian Zilko that while he’s discussed more Gotham-verse spinoffs beyond “The Penguin,” the top priority is wrapping “The Penguin” and gearing up “The Batman 2.” Reeves says the sequel’s script is in, Robert Pattinson is “super excited,” cameras are aiming to roll this spring, and the release is expected in 2027. He also hints that conversations about additional character spinoffs could resume “when it’s appropriate”—and notes there’s even a chance “The Penguin” could return for Season 2.
