While speaking to Fandango All Access, Pattinson was asked how long he wishes to play the role if it were up to him. He said, “Yeah! It was fun doing it, I’m down to do this for as many times as people want to see it, really. I’ve gotta get this one out, first!”
He added, “But yeah, like I mean I’ve talked to Matt (Reeves) about the idea of doing a trilogy. I know it’d be wonderful. I really enjoyed the process. It’s such a fun character to play. Yeah, that’d be lovely.”
“There’s so much room for this Batman to grow,” said Paul Dano, who essays the role of Riddler in the film.
If it happens, this will be the second Batman trilogy after Christopher Nolan-directed Christian Bale’s Dark Knight Trilogy.
Written by Reeves and Peter Craig, The Batman features a rookie Caped Crusader who is still struggling to master his rage. He is targetted by villains like the Riddler and the Penguin. Promos and promos suggest that he will team up with Catwoman.
The film takes a grittier approach to the Batman mythos. So a clownish, flamboyant villain like Riddler from comics becomes a sinister man inspired by Zodiac Killer. We also know Reeves wanted The Batman to explore the superhero’s detective abilities. He is not called the world’s greatest detective for nothing, and most live-action adaptations, beyond a few nods, have not really delved into that.
Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, and John Turturro play Commissioner Gordon, Alfred, Penguin, and Carmine Falcone, respectively, in The Batman.
