Robert Pattinson has advised The Batman Part 2 might be a really totally different tackle the DC superhero than we’ve seen earlier than.
Pattinson is ready to reprise his function because the Caped Crusader in The Batman Half 2, which has a February 18, 2028 launch date. Assuming it hits that date, Half 2 will arrive in theaters simply shy of six years after The Batman got here out.
The film is basically shrouded in thriller, however Pattinson has began to tease what to anticipate from it now he’s out and about selling his new film, Primetime. And in an interview captured by MYmovies on TikTok, Pattinson teased one thing fairly totally different than what’s gone earlier than.
“Matt simply wrote this wonderful script,” Pattinson mentioned of The Batman co-writer and director Matt Reeves. “I believe the primary one was… it’s tough to reinvent Batman as this new factor. After which to go in one other completely totally different path. I’m simply wanting on the playback on sure issues… it seems totally different to the primary one.
“It’s simply wonderful. It’s a fairly radical change of the script. It’s cool that Warner’s behind it, and DC. It’s simply loopy. It’s a very radical retelling of Batman. I believe individuals are going to be excited by it.”
So, what does this imply, precisely? It’s arduous to inform. The Batman is a darkish and gritty detective story that contains a broody Bruce Wayne who struggles to cease the machinations of the Riddler. You’d think about that Pattinson’s Batman received’t deviate an excessive amount of from the model of the character we noticed again in 2022, however based mostly on what the actor’s saying right here, it’s arduous to foretell. In reality, Pattinson is being nearly comically imprecise about The Batman 2. Is it a courtroom drama? A psychological horror film? A musical? Nicely, after Joker: Folie à Deux bombed on the field workplace, I doubt it’s a musical.
Maybe The Batman 2 doubles down on the thriller side of its predecessor. Possibly it revolves extra round its foremost villain, who has but to be confirmed, than Batman. It’s unclear if Marvel star Sebastian Stan plays Harvey Dent / Two-Face, as anticipated, however even when he’s, we’re unsure if he’s the principle villain.
What we all know for positive is Pattinson is finding the fight scenes in The Batman Part 2 harder than those in The Batman, now he’s in his 40s. “I’m positively feeling my age when combating loads,” Pattinson informed GQ. “I’m actually like, ‘Goddamn, that is considerably tougher than it was once.’ But it surely’s actually enjoyable. And I believe the film’s going to be fairly nice. It’s obtained a very, actually enjoyable solid, however it’s a marathon.”
It is price remembering that Matt Reeves’ The Batman films aren’t part of the continuing DC Universe, so they are not set in the identical universe as Superman, Supergirl, Lanterns, and subsequent yr’s Man of Tomorrow. Reeves’ The Batman and HBO spinoff present The Penguin are half of what’s referred to as The Batman Epic Crime Saga. James Gunn’s rebooted DCU will finally see a recent actor play Batman when The Courageous and the Daring kicks into gear.
Talking of The Penguin, actor Colin Farrell has mentioned he’ll reprise his function because the crime boss in The Batman Half 2, although in just two scenes. Talking to ScreenRant in June, Farrell described the script, and his involvement within the film.
“I obtained to learn from the primary to final web page and it is actually magnificent,” he mentioned. “I simply suppose Matt Reeves is sensible and he wrote, not solely tonally, a very type of darkish and at occasions terrifying piece, and never solely psychologically weighty and nuanced, however actually feeling. It is a actually… There’s moments in it. It is filled with feeling. I simply suppose he wrote type of a up to date style masterpiece, actually. I am solely in two scenes, which is nice as a result of it means I can take pleasure in the remainder of the movie.”
