Mumbai Mumbai. Director Matt Reeves believes Robert Pattison starrer 'The Batman' can join James Gunn's DC Universe only if it 'makes sense.' According to Variety's report, shooting of the sequel is expected to begin this year. According to Variety, James Gunn recently discussed the idea of bringing 'The Batman' (2022) into his new DC Universe. The Batman was directed by Matt Reeves. The actor recently addressed the matter in a podcast at the Golden Globes.
Matt Reeves said, “It really depends on whether it makes sense or not,” Reeves said. “There was a story I wanted to tell. The epic crime saga. It's been important to me to play that out and James and Peter have been really great about that. They're letting us do that. What the future brings, I'm really I can't tell you. I have no idea. My focus right now is on shooting 'The Batman Part II', which is the most important thing.”
On the subject of Robert's possible transfer to the DC Universe, Reeves said, “I don't know, we'll have to see where it goes.” Recently, Warner Bros. announced the new release date of 'Batman 2'. Marking a postponement of one year from its original release date, the film is now scheduled to release in theaters worldwide on October 1, 2027. Netizens were disappointed with the delay. In response, James Gunn justified the delay and called it a common practice in making sequels. The director has defended this choice by remembering the gap between sequels of hit films like Alien, Incredibles, Terminator, Avatar, Top Gun and others. “Frankly, a gap of 5 years or more between sequels is quite common,” he wrote. “7 years between Aliens and Aliens. 14 years between The Incredibles. 7 years between the first two Terminators.
13 years between incarnations. 36 years among Top Guns. And, of course, the 6 years between Guardians Volume 2 and Volume 3.” As Deadline reports, Gunn confirmed after the announcement that the move was writing-related. He wrote, “Sure. Yes, it is true. The only reason for the delay is the not-completed script (those of you who follow me here probably already know). Matt is determined to make his best film, and no one can accurately predict how long it will take to write the script. Once the entire script is ready, there is about two years of time for pre-production, shooting and post-production for big films.” 'The Batman' starring Robert Pattinson was a huge hit at the box office. It earned approximately US$369.3 million domestically and US$772 million internationally.
