Details surrounding The Batman Part II have finally begun to trickle out, and a perfect villain for the DC Universe movie has been confirmed to not appear in it. While the film’s main villain has not yet been revealed, comments about the upcoming DC release have written off some antagonists. Following the first film’s incredible realization of Gotham, the potential of seeing every iconic Batman villain from the comics realized in this context is promising, and audiences have been hoping to see their favorites.

Excitement for The Batman – Part II’s story is high, even with the launch of the new DC Universe impending. With James Gunn and Peter Safran rebooting the overall franchise, there has been some previous concern that sequels to The Batman may not actually happen. However, with pre-production finally occurring and the release of The Penguin coming soon on HBO, it appears that this world of The Batman will indeed expand, even if some figures won’t be appearing in said expansion.
