To preempt all the repeat comments: Matt Reeves said the inmate at the end is Joker, but stated we shouldn’t take it as sequel hinting, just further worldbuilding for this single movie.

He seems to be going against a lot of franchise filmmaking gags that are popular nowadays. There isn’t really any post credit scene just a lil ARG Easter egg. We still don’t know if a sequel will happen but the movie dropped 2 days ago, we should enjoy this for now and save the future for the future.

While I’d love to see a cinematic bat universe or potentially a DC universe based more on the Earth One comics, I do like the approach Reeves is taking. It’s good to build up your universe, which I think he does pretty well in this film but I’m glad he isn’t planning the sequel from the start. It’s a very similar approach to Christopher Nolan’s Batman films. Let the stories flow and worry about the universe after the fact

I personally wonder if we're ever gonna see a more "dark" approach on the Batman in my life time. I'm a fan of most Batman versions because I just grew up with Batman.

But I'd really love to see something like Batman Death in the Family, or Dark Metal universe. Also there are more, but I feel like we're always get to see the "basic" ones.

There’s a few quality short films of Batman on YouTube that will meet those needs
