Robert Pattinson is undoubtedly one of the best actors in the world, who has accomplished a lot in his career. After all, his career didn’t necessarily have the best of starts. However, Pattinson has improved a lot over the years thanks to his wide variety of roles. He is set to return in The Batman 2 but it appears fans are pretty unhappy over an update regarding the film. They expressed their disdain for the Studio Executives on social media.
Robert Pattinson’s most infamous role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise remains a black mark on his career, as many labeled him as the ‘sparkly vampire’ who couldn’t act to save his life. Thankfully, the general perception has changed a lot. It is simply a fact that his career saw a resurgence over the past few years as fans realized how good of an actor he truly is.
Fans Blasted Studio Executives After Unfortunate News About The Batman 2
Released in 2022, The Batman starring Robert Pattinson was a massive success, grossing over $772 million at the box office. The film received acclaim for Matt Reeves’ direction, and the cast’s performances, earning three Oscar nominations. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that fans are incredibly hyped for the sequel to the movie as well.
Recently, a post on Twitter showed off new photos of Colin Farrell on the set of The Penguin, which is a spinoff to The Batman. The show is currently under production after delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
However, quite a few fans were not happy about how Collin Farrell looked in the aforementioned photos, as he was vastly different from how he looked in real life. The fans took to Twitter in order to blast Warner Bros Studio Executives for this very reason.

If we didn't have those kinds of actors back then, we probably wouldn't have had great movies.

Only time will tell how the actual show will turn out, as there is a lot of anticipation, yet cautious optimism regarding the spinoff right now.
Matt Reeves Plans To Make His Own Universe Based On The Batman
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Reeves is expanding the Batman universe to explore other villains. Reeves is currently in discussions with writers and directors to develop movies, not just series, centered around various characters from Batman’s Rogue’s Gallery. These projects, which include characters like the Scarecrow, Clayface, and Professor Pyg, are in the early stages of development.
“Reeves is plotting more. The filmmaker is meeting with writers and directors to build out movies — yes movies, not just series — focused on Batman rogue’s gallery, both established and more obscure, with characters ranging from the Scarecrow to Clayface to Professor Pyg. All those projects are in the very early stages of gestation.”
The Batman 2 has a tentative release date of 3rd October 2025, but rumors suggest that the film has been canceled. Thankfully, those rumors have since been debunked as the film will definitely be released, even if delayed.
