The Batman star Robert Pattinson is game to see Robin join his franchise down the line — but with one special condition. The Dark Knight is about to get his latest cinematic portrayal with Pattinson starring in Matt Reeves' upcoming reboot. Taking place outside the DCEU, The Batman centers on Bruce Wayne's second year as Gotham City's protector. While Pattinson's Batman won't be completely new as a vigilante, his version of the Caped Crusader still has a long way to go before becoming the hero fans know and love. With a new Batman franchise comes several new iterations of various characters from the mythology. While The Batman has a number of villains lined up against the DC detective, Paul Dano's Riddler will serve as the main antagonist in the story.
Famous Batman baddies like the Penguin and Carmine Falcone will also appear in various capacities while Gotham City's anti-heroine Catwoman is part of the story too. The Batman is the beginning of an envisioned trilogy, which is looking likely to happen. From all the positive reception so far throughout the marketing and the box office projections for opening weekend, The Batman 2 is likely to get greenlit at some point this year. Chances for potential sequels are also looking very good since Warner Bros. is already investing in a number of The Batman TV spinoffs from Reeves, including GCPD and The Penguin on HBO Max.
