Aside from this news it has also been announced that the film is arriving in cinemas on June 25, 2021.
In a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Batman Director Matt Reeves hinted that casting would soon begin on a Batman "Rogue's gallery" of villains.
"It's very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale," he explained. "It's told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it's going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It's more Batman in his detective mode than we've seen in the films.
"The comics have a history of that. He's supposed to be the world's greatest detective, and that's not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been.
"I'd love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it's going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation."
To say we're excited about this new movies is an understatement but, the big question on all our minds is who will take on the role of Batman?
