Casting rumors and unceremonious announcements for The Batman: Part II being as rousing as they are is a testament to how highly anticipated The Batman’s sequel is. Sequels to comic-related movies—the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, for example—are endlessly captivating in this way, with worldbuilding foundations established in their predecessor and imaginations running wild as to what villains or characters they may choose to feature, as well as what storylines from comic book source material might be adapted.
