Matt Reeves explained why he approached TheBatman as a standalone movie without thinking about potential sequels or spinoffs. 'What I wanted to do was to make this movie a satisfying experience.'
Matt Reeves has explained his approach to tackling The Batman as a standalone film and not taking potentially inevitable sequels and spin-offs for granted. Matt Reeves' new take on the Caped Crusader has been a box office and critical success, proving to be worth the wait after several delays following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With this level of success, there has already been plenty for fans to speculate on in regard to follow-ups for The Batman. A spin-off series focusing on The Penguin has already been greenlit for HBO Max, with Farrell reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot, and an Arkham series also in active development.
"My feeling in doing the film was always that I would never treat it as chapter one, because chapter one assumes that there are more chapters.
Reeves' comments demonstrate the director's commitment to outlining the building blocks of his new universe before thinking about future tie-ins. The Batman itself was originally intended to be a very different project, initially billed as taking place in the DC Extended Universe and being a solo outing for Ben Affleck's Batman that the actor was to write and direct.
Regardless, follow-ups to The Batman are coming and fans have been speculating on how they may see the world of the new Caped Crusader expand over the next several years. The Penguin series will shine more light on Farrell's Cobblepot and potentially go further into the world of Gotham's underworld and the Drops racket that the character was involved in.
