‘The Batman’ fans want to see the Court of Owls in the sequel

Yesterday, Warner Bros. Discovery chairman Toby Emmerich announced a sequel to the return of stars Robert Pattinson and Zöe Kravitz, and director Matt Reeves, no other details have been announced.

They’ve been featured in the 2015 D.C. Animated film Batman vs. Robin, and then appeared again on the TV series Gotham.

A recurring theme on Twitter has been that fans would like to see D.C. Cinematic Universe dig deeper into the title’s mythology and feature villains other than the Joker or any other character who has been seen many other times in Batman TV series and movies over the years:
