"Barren kunne ikke sættes højere" i Batman Part II

Matt Reeves' Batman-univers blev lidt undermineret af James Gunns DC-filmunivers, men han får dog lov til at gennemføre sin trilogi med Robert Pattinson i hovedrollen. Men den kommende The Batman Part II er samtidig blevet udskudt flere gange, og ankommer nu først i efteråret 2026, denne gang grundet strejker blandt filmfolk.

Men en af manuskriptforfatterne, Mattson Tomlin, lægger ikke fingre imellem; der er skyhøje forventninger internt til projektet. I et interview med Screenrant beskriver han ambitionsniveauet:

"It's shooting next year. We're gearing up, and I will say that the bar just couldn't be higher. It's the sequel to the first one. But also, Matt [Reeves] is like no other. In the five years now that I've been working with him as closely as I have, I've tried to absorb as much as humanly possible from him, and I'm so grateful for the time that I get to spend with him, because he is a true artist who is operating in a world where sometimes art doesn't get to flourish, and he's trying to make something that really matters."

Det lyder som om at Reeves gerne vil lidt mere end at lave en tankeløs blockbuster. Vi venter med spænding.
