It's been over two years since Matt Reeves threw audiences into his grim version of Gotham City with "The Batman," which stars Robert Pattinson as the titular Caped Crusader.
In the first gloomy, David Fincher-inspired comic book movie, Pattinson's vigilante faces the Riddler (Paul Dano), who targets corrupt members of the city council and the authorities in a brutal killing spree.
While the Bat cements himself as a hero to Gotham's citizens, he doesn't manage to save the day completely. In fact, The Riddler changes Gotham forever at the end of the film with a terror attack that floods the city.
This version of the DC universe will be explored even further in "The Penguin" TV series, which picks up immediately after the film's explosive climax. The show will help bridge the gap to "The Batman 2," which was announced at CinemaCon in 2022.
Here's everything we know about the sequel.
