Though he makes it clear that he is only speculating, Sneider wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if Isaac showed up in the long-awaited sequel.<\/p>\n<p>If Reeves tried to get Isaac on board the first time around, we could definitely see him reaching out to gauge interest, and it&#8217;s also worth noting that the actor has a long-standing relationship with Warner Bros. As for which character Isaac could play, he is already a popular fan-pick for\u00a0Harvey Dent, and we could also picture him as Hush.<\/p>\n<p>Plot details are still under wraps, but Reeves did recently drop a few hints about the villain Batman will be facing off against in the movie, describing the mysterious antagonist as someone who has &#8220;never really been done in a movie before.&#8221; The most popular theory seems to be Tommy Elliot, but there are a number of characters who could fit the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Reeves has also confirmed that production is scheduled to get underway early next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re beginning. We\u2019re staffing up. We\u2019re starting to get our crew back together. We\u2019re getting ready. We\u2019re basically entering [pre-production]. We\u2019ll be making the movie in the spring&#8230; super excited,\u201d he told THR.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of what the first movie was and what [The Batman: Part 2] is, which is so much a detective story, the idea of trying to protect the secrets of the movie is super important because it\u2019s a mystery. That would be an extra level of heartbreak if that part of it started getting out. You wanna keep the surprise so the fans&#8230; can have the fun experience that I always love going to the movies, which was to go and be surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to The Penguin star Colin Farrell and several others (presumably more than 5 people at this stage), Robert Pattinson has read the script &#8211; which was delivered to him in a highly secure envelope that\u00a0required a separate code to open &#8211;\u00a0and was said to be very happy with the story, which will seemingly take the iconic DC Comics hero in a direction we have not seen before. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s Batman, so if he doesn\u2019t like it, not good. So, I was super excited because I thought that he really would [like it] because the things that it does for his character, for Batman, and for [Bruce Wayne] has never been done before in this way. And I had a feeling he would respond in this way, the fact that he did was incredibly encouraging,\u201d\u00a0Reeves added.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping in mind that we have no idea if Isaac is actually on Reeves&#8217; radar for The Batman &#8211; Part II, do you think he&#8217;d be a good fit for any particular hero or villain?
