The Batman Part 2 director Matt Reeves recently teased some plot details and vowed to remains grounded with this series. Reeves recently spoke with SFX Magazine in their latest edition. Here is the very brief plot details that Reeves shared about The Batman Part 2.
“We’ve shared [the script] as we’ve been going along with DC, and they’re super excited,” he tells the mag. “It’s going to dig into the epic story about deeper corruption and it goes into places [Bruce Wayne] couldn’t even anticipate in the first one.”
“The seeds of where this goes are all in the first movie & it expands in a way that will show you aspects of the character you never got to see. Batman is constantly battling these forces. But those forces can’t be entirely exorcised. So the next movie delves deeper into that.”

Reeves also went on to explain why his version of Batman will remains grounded. There are levels of the fantastical that he feels are too far for his version of the Caped Crusader. However, he likes the idea of introducing the fantastical in new, more grounded ways.
“What was important to me was to find a way to take these pop icons, these mythic characters that everybody knows, and translate it so that Gotham feels like a place in our world,” he added. “We might push to the edge of fantastical, but we would never go into full fantastical. It’s meant to feel quite grounded.”
“It doesn’t mean that you won’t see characters that people love. That’s exactly what we want to do. Gentleman Ghost is probably pushed a bit too far for us to be able to find a way to do, but there is a fun way to think about how we would take characters that might push over into a bit of the fantastical and find a way to make sense of that.”
