In a recent interview, Pattinson said The Batman: Part II will feel different from the first film. Pattinson praised Matt Reeves’ new script, calling it “amazing.” He said reinventing Batman in the first film was challenging, while the sequel takes the character in “another totally different direction.”

Pattinson said, “[Matt Reeves] just wrote this amazing script. I mean, with the first one, it’s difficult to reinvent Batman as this new thing and then [with Part 2] to go in another totally different direction. I remember just looking at the playback on set and thinking it looks different from the first one.”
