New Report Reveals Disappointing Joker Update 

DC

The Hollywood Reporter revealed new details about the sequel to Robert Pattinson's The Batman. 

While the plot details are still being kept under wraps, the outlet noted that it's "not even clear" if it would feature Barry Keoghan's Joker. The character first appeared at the tail-end of the first movie while also being featured in an extended deleted scene. 

THR also reported that Matt Tomlin is reteaming with The Batman director Matt Reeves to co-write the sequel. Tomlin worked on the first movie, with the writer coming in when third-act issues came to light. However, he didn't receive screenwriting credit. 

Now, Tomlin's involvement in the sequel comes from the ground up, with the writing process yet to start. THR noted that it is expected to start "in the coming weeks."

This story is developing. Stay tuned for updates!
