Lauren LeFranc had so much creative freedom that made The Penguin her show and not some studio manufactured creation…she said she created the Vic character, it was her idea for Oz to kill Alberto Falcone(Matt said), and it was her idea to do a Sofia centric episode for episode 4. Matt Reeves’ producing just aided the show of course, for example he and Greig Fraser met with cinematographers so the show had a certain look that remained in line with his Gotham. As a James Gunn fan myself it doesn’t seem like he is doing that other than with Clayface and maybe Lanterns. Wonder Woman should get this same treatment, obviously he has a vision for her but this shouldn’t be the James Gunn universe imo. Get an auteur writer/director and let them play while obviously giving them a note on where u want her to be at the end of the film. Ana might be an ok writer but she should not be writing WW and Teen Titans. Don’t even get me started on BATB if that happens.

I can see Matt Reeves’ version of Talons simply being assassins for the Court of Owls like they normally are and that could action scene would be dope. Probably not gonna be undead people, but just skillful assassins which would be dope still. This film is gonna be so different from what we have seen before and everyone who read it is saying the script is crazy in the greatest way possible.

I think it’s a 60% chance we get this tweet for Part II starting filming tomorrow with Matt and Erik. Filming normally starts on Monday’s as this did when Matt tweeted this too and we seem close.

The lines look better on the new suit and I don't mind them but they aren't needed. This would be great for a third Superman film or at the end of Man of Tomorrow. Obviously the story being great is the most important but the design being even better than what it is already is a great bonus.

Matt Reeves we beg you, of course he can still finish his vision with the trilogy he wants and still produce whatever Batman and his characters are in afterwards. I just want the highest of quality and success.

Some people are interpreting this as Robert only shooting for like 2 and a half months. It's obvious that this means the night shoots with the stunt team and his stunt double. That amount of time on the call sheet seems to mean there is a good amount of action. The first film had good action sprinkled throughout the run time, more action than the first film isn't needed but it would be great.

Matt Reeves definitely didn’t announce the full cast with GIFs, just the main players. At face value if you just look at this post as me saying Bargirl, Robin, and Harley Quinn could be in the film it definitely looks stupid and looks like a reach. But if you look at it in the way of just Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson, Dr. Harleen Quinzel, and Dr. Hugo Strange being in the film it looks more plausible. As Matt Reeves said all of these characters surrounding Batman are in their “infancy”. I know even though ‘The Batman Part II’ will most likely be around 3 hours again I know not everyone can have a huge role and I’m not saying these are huge roles pertaining to the plot of the film.

Barbara Gordon:
In a deleted scene from The Batman, it was shown that Matt Reeves wrote a scene that featured Jim saying that he was on the phone with his daughter Barbara (while really talking to Batman). This doesn’t mean that she will be in the film but it shows that Reeves wrote that Jim definitely of course has a family that we haven’t seen yet. Jeffrey Wright did say that for the sequel he hoped that we will get to see more of his family life and I hope he gets that wish. Reeves could cast an older Barbara in her early to mid 20s like how she is in Caped Crusader, or just have her be younger in her about mid teens.

Dick Grayson:
There were rumors about “Robin” being in the film that I hope are true. But when they say Robin I think it’s just Duck Grayson for now. I know people think James Gunn “debunked” this but if you know his ways on social media he really didn’t. Although I don’t see how anyone could have found this out but nonetheless Reeves said he did explore the idea. I think in this film it could just be Bruce taking in a young Dick Grayson after the death of his parents at a Holiday Flying Grayson’s show. I think this film will probably take place from Christmas Eve to New Year’s so obviously he won’t become Robin in that little time. I just think there are so many emotional beats they can touch with a kid that relates to Bruce who just lost his family right before Christmas, and Alfred trying to right his wrongs as a guardian in this new kid to look after. This character even if he was in the film, I knew he wasn’t going to be apart of the GIFs Reeves was posting because he would have to go on a casting search for this character and probably even Barbara too unless he wants like a Chase Infiniti.

Dr. Harleen Quinzel and Dr. Hugo Strange:
Reeves said his idea of his Arkham Asylum show has evolved so what if some of those ideas were implemented into this film? For example, it seems obvious that Arkham will serve a bigger role in this film and we might see the likes Joker and Riddler there again. They won’t have huge roles but I think we might see some of the Arkham staff including her and Dr. Hugo Strange.

Have Robert Pattinson as the DCU Batman and have him do crossover things after Matt Reeves finishes his vision of the trilogy, and still have Reeves produce every film he features in. Mattson Tomlin can also write whatever Batman films come after Part III. In my opinion it’s just the best business and creative decision. The Batman franchise makes the most money and is respected even in awards season which you can’t say for a lot of comic book projects. Bringing that to the DCU will bring more eyes to it and make it even more successful. The Batman Part II is probably making over $1B too.

Unreliable memory projects:
-The Suicide Squad (2021) (Only some of this film happened in the DCU. Harley Quinn is not on The Suicide Squad team in the DCU…Margot Robbie will be cast as another character because a new version of Harley will be introduced with Barry Keoghan’s Joker with a different actress playing that new version)
