Matt Reeves' Batman sequel can't have the Court of Owls for one reason: they gave their plot to The Riddler in the first film.

Matt Reeves has revealed that he is almost done with the script for The Batman Part II. Fans are speculating who the next antagonist will be for the Bat of Gotham. While they're eager to see someone like the Court of Owls in a live-action setting, there's a reason why fans think it might be a bad idea.

The first Batman movie with Matt Reeves was about a family conspiracy that spanned the deep history of Gotham, much regarding the Waynes. Should Matt Reeves' sequel be about the Court of Owls, fans are worried that the plot of the film might be a bit repetitive for the audience's taste.

The Court of Owls is a set of Batman villains that fans can't wait to see adapted in all their live-action glory. But Matt Reeves' movies about the characters might not be the place for them. Given that most of the drama of Court of Owls concerns the history of Wayne and Gotham City, something that has already been explored with the Riddler in The Batman, Matt Reeves would have a hard time turning to another villain to avoid any sense of monotony in the character .
