I don’t think this will be a direct continuation of 1 weeks time passing from the first, if it even happens at all at this point.

More likely pick up a few more years time.
 
Yeah if Reeves was smart, he’d jump ahead.

The Penguin was basically our sequel to The Batman, so for the new film to be set only a week later, three years after The Penguin released, will immediately make the world, the story, characters, old news.

The longer this takes to release, the more pressure builds for it to be good. Imagine we wait five years for nothing like Joker 2.
 
Saw this coming again when he was doing the press junket for Penguin - he seems to be struggling with dedicating time to the script.

It better be his "The Dark Knight" level film to maintain the goodwill, but saying that, who on earth would have though Avatar 2 would have done the numbers it did (and that was forgettable as hell).

I think Matt Reeves is a bit of a hack. He signed on with Warner Brothers in February 2017. By the time 10 years will have passed, he'll have only released one film.

At this point, I'd rather they pull the plug on the damn thing. Lest we wait all this time for another mediocre screenplay.

After The Penguin’s success it would be extremely foolish to pull the plug on this. But, I can’t help but think that given the 3 yrs we have to wait, another mini series of the same universe could be fit in, and that would further justify moving the timeline up a few years in terms of where The Batman II picks up

The issue with another mini series is there isn’t any more characters to learn about tying back to The Batman.

If a new mini series introduces more random characters / rogues gallery without featuring the star of the whole thing then we really won’t care about Pattinson, though some are already at that point, now.

Pattinson hasn’t proved anything to us yet with his Batman, so to further bury his portrayal by side characters will be fatal.

If he was the best live action Batman,
WB would have pressured him to produce the sequel by now.

Instead, they don’t seem very interested, they’ve seemingly moved on already to Gunn’s Superman and universe.

Just because you think he’s the best thing in cinema doesn’t mean everyone else does, by 2027 no one will even remember his portrayal.

You genuinely think there will be hype for his Batman by 2027? There wasn’t even hype for Joker 2 by the time it actually released and its predecessor grossed a billion.

Word of mouth doesn’t tank a sequel to a billion dollar film opening weekend.

I will, cause it's the only one that's not crap.

You wanna know something?
Story matters more than the guy in the cape.

What story does Reeves have left to tell? The “Drops” was old news in The Penguin yet played a major role in it.

Correct but they know when interest begins to wane.

They have no qualms abandoning projects they deem futile.

The thing about cinema, is the moment a character is introduced to its audience, that character is on an ever expiring ticking clock. If it’s not iconic enough, you have a short window of opportunity to work in the confines of.

How many live action Batman’s have they gone through? Remind me.

Once one no longer provides revenue, another interpretation is birthed, almost immediately after the last.

If they were deaf to the box office receipts we’d still have the DCEU and Leto Joker solo movie.
