Not much is known about the plot of the movie which is untitled The Batman sequel so far, though Robert Pattinson is set to return as the titular Dark Knight. The first movie did tease the Joker and leave the Riddler alive at Arkham, so one or both of these famous antagonists could come back.
The first movie, The Batman, stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as GCPD’s James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Ferrell as Oswald Cobblepot/ Penguin.
