A sequel to The Batman was confirmed to be in the works just recently, and already new details are being revealed. Director and writer Matt Reeves spoke with Collider about the upcoming film, saying that the focus will remain on Bruce Wayne, who is the “emotional center” of the film:
This might seem like an obvious detail, but considering how many Batman films tend to shift the focus away from Batman himself and more on his villains (commonly referred to as a rogues’ gallery), it’s interesting to learn that Reeves intends to keep the spotlight on the caped crusader himself. Robert Pattinson’s take on Bruce Wayne shows his more vulnerable and angry side, something that Reeves considers special.
Last year’s The Batman followed the point of view of Bruce Wayne nearly the entire way through, and we only saw the Riddler from the eyes of Batman, except for a few brief glimpses at the beginning and end. Since Reeves’ wanted to focus on the detective side of Batman, it makes sense that audiences got to solve the mystery at the same time Batman does instead of being spoon-fed clues from a different perspective.
