At the moment, that’s all we really know Batman Part II its release date, the fact that filming has begun, and the cast (although we don’t know who the new additions are yet, recently confirmed by Reeveswill play).
However, we can safely say that this will be another dark tale set in Gotham. Batman Part II Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred, Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, Gil Perez-Abraham as Officer Martinez and Jayme Lawson as Bella Real. The film will also feature Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Brian Tyree Henry, Charles Dance and Sebastian Koch. We wouldn’t count out Barry Keoghan, but for now it’s just a guess.
