If The Batman Part 2 Fixes This One Issue, It Could Be the Best Batman Movie to Date

Robert Pattinson is on track to once again put on the cape and cowl as The Batman Part 2 is closing in on us, sending our anticipation to new heights with each passing day. However, when the first movie came out, even after a highly positive reception, fans had one issue. It might not sound like much, but if we take everything in perspective, had The Batman gotten that one thing right as well, it could have been the best Batman movie to date.

Now, Matt Reeves appears to be on a mission as he has confirmed that The Batman Part 2 will fix this very issue.

The Batman Part 2 Will Focus More on Bruce Wayne

If we look at the first movie, everything was practically perfect: the cinematography, screenplay, everything worked just as it was supposed to. However, the movie was all about Batman and had almost nothing to do with Bruce Wayne. We got to see the hero, but we never got to see and understand the man behind the mask. This didn’t sit right with a lot of fans since we have always seen a balance between Bruce Wayne and Batman on screen, making this approach a bit undesirable for the fans.

Recently, Matt Reeves appeared for a red carpet event where he confirmed to Variety that while the original movie was more about the mask, The Batman Part 2 will be more about the man behind the mask, focusing more on Bruce Wayne. In his comment, Matt said-

“In a lot of the other films, which I love, once you get past the origin tale, which we didn’t quite do, but we did something that referred to his origins, then you start telling the Rogues Gallery story and that character’s sort of arch. But I never wanted to lose Robert Pattinson at the center of these stories, and so that is really what we set our aim on.”

So, with that being said, it’s pretty clear that moving forward, Matt Reeves has a clear direction in mind regarding what to do with the Caped Crusader. Now, all that’s left to see is how Matt Reeves creates the dynamic of a double life.

How Will Adding More of Bruce Wayne Make The Batman Part 2 a Success?

When we think of Batman, it has never been just about the vigilante. Whether it be Adam West, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, or other Batman actors, their performance has always been judged based on how good a Batman and Bruce Wayne they have been on screen, how well they have played both aspects of the character. While Robert Pattinson was undoubtedly an insanely good Batman, his adaptation cannot be truly judged unless we see him operate in the world as Bruce Wayne.

So, Matt Reeves focusing more on Bruce Wayne in The Batman part 2 will bring us a dynamic that was missing in the previous movie, which will enhance The Batman to new heights, possibly turning it into the best Batman movie to date. What do you think? Is this approach going to make Robert Pattinson replace one of the legends? Let us know in the comments.
