Matt Reeves, who helmed the first film, recently revealed that the script for the sequel is almost finished and that they would be filming it this year. He also dropped hints at the possible villain for the sequel, terming the film a mystery that delves into the corruption of Gotham.
While many villains such as the Swamp Thing and Gentleman Ghost were rumored to have been included, Reeves’ statements about exposing the deeper corruption in Gotham have led fans to speculate that the Court of Owls might appear in the film.

WithThe Batman – Part II, Reeves reportedly wants to continue along this path of a grounded Batman and Gotham, delving deep into the corrupt foundations of the city.

Matt Reevesrecently hinted at the direction in which he was takingThe Batman – Part II. He mentioned that the film would see Pattinson’s perspective again and find him exploring the deeper parts of Gotham. He said to SFX Magazine (viaDeadline),
It’s another mystery [in The Batman: Part II] that’s going to dig into the epic story about deeper corruption and it goes into places that he couldn’t even anticipate in the first one. The seeds of where this goes are all in the first movie, and it expands in a way that will show you aspects of the character you never got to see.
Many fans speculated that Reeves was hinting at the legendary Court of Owls being a part of the film. The first film’s exploration of Gotham’s structural issues and the Wayne family’s ties to these crimes perfectly sets up the appearance of the secret society.
Who Are The Court of Owls And Why Is It A Big Deal For Robbert Pattinson’s Batman To Fight Them?
While other Batman actors like Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and George Clooney have fought villains like Joker, The Penguin, Bane, The Riddler, and more, Robert Pattinson would be the first to tackle the Court of Owls if they appear inThe Batman – Part II.

Dating back to the earliest days of Gotham, the Court of Owls has largely remained in the shadows, with only a legend being spoken among the people, hinting at the group’s assassins, the Talons.
