Another Dark Night Is Coming

Warner Bros’ The Batman has made just over $700m at the box office as of this writing which is pretty impressive and it was confirmed this week that we would be getting a sequel with Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves returning…

Our friends at Variety reported on the announcement at CinemaCon which took place in Las Vegas this week:

Warner Bros. revealed its plans for another Caped Crusader story during its Tuesday evening presentation at CinemaCon, the annual trade show for theater owners. “The Batman” director Matt Reeves was on hand to announce the news that he will write and direct the follow-up, but he did not provide any details about what the movie will entail.

The Batman, a gritty three-hour superhero adventure, debuted on the big screen in March, kicking off with $134 million domestically. Those ticket sales still rank as the biggest opening weekend of 2022, as well as only the second pandemic-era movie to cross the $100 million mark in a single weekend following Spider-Man: No Way Home. With $759 million to date at the global box office, The Batman is currently the highest grossing movie of the year.

It is impressive considering that this Batman film, unlike the other movies featuring DC’s Dark Knight, is not one that everyone has been able to see because it is pitched at a slightly older audience.
