Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson's The Batman presented a gritty Dark Knight, but its ending sets up an even darker story for The Batman - Part II.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Director Matt Reeves crafted the most grounded and dark version of Gotham and its Dark Knight in 2022's The Batman, but the movie's ending sets up an even darker and more emotionally challenging story for The Batman - Part II. While Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy presented a more realistic interpretation of Batman, Gotham, and various DC villains than had ever been seen before on the big screen.
However, the ending of The Batman actually shines a bit of light on an otherwise dark story. Bruce seems to be in a better place emotionally, which could potentially set the sequel on a brighter bath. However, this turn may instead have the opposite effect, setting up The Batman - Part II to be even darker and emotionally taxing than what came before it.
The Batman Ended With A Message Of Hope Bruce Wayne is almost universally portrayed as emotionally damaged and struggling with issues of anger and grief in DC media, but The Batman pushed that to a more extreme and realistic level than ever before. For the majority of the movie, Batman is determined to be a symbol of fear to criminals and doesn't consider who he is or should be to the law-abiding citizens of Gotham City.
In addition to slowly gaining experience as Batman, Bruce also seems to be coming to terms with his role as a wealthy billionaire in helping the city he loves. No longer simply a self-driven vigilante, Batman approaches something closer to a hero. This turn brings him more in line with most classic versions of the character, though giving him something to care about also means he now has something to lose.
Bruce Wayne's Growth Gives Him More To Lose In The Batman 2 Part of what made Pattinson's Batman so scary in The Batman is that he really seemed like someone with nothing left to lose. He attacked criminals with reckless abandon despite multiple failures and setbacks, and he truly seemed incapable of sinking any lower emotionally. Besides Alfred, he had nobody and nothing, but that's no longer the case.
