Although the Dark Knight Trilogy had a flawed portrayal of Gotham, The Batman 2 can learn from those mistakes and maintain the city's personality.
The Dark Knight trilogy is one of the most critically acclaimed superhero franchises of all time, but it does have a significant mistake that The Batman- Part II needs to avoid. When it comes to Gotham City, the world created by writer and director Matt Reeves carries its own personality as Gotham, giving the city its own role beyond simply being the place in which Batman fights crime. This has been regarded as one of the first film's greatest strengths.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While not as extreme as the Gothams brought to life by directors Tim Burton or Joel Schumacher, Christopher Nolan's Gotham created for The Dark Knight trilogy also had a strong presence in Batman Begins. There was a happy medium between the city feeling like the Gotham from the comics and something more grounded. However, a notable change occurred in the subsequent sequels The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.
Combined with its dark and gothic architecture with plenty of room to become more like the comics' Gotham over time, it's essential that The Batman trilogy maintains this personality in the sequels. In terms of visual design, it can't become just another basic metropolis which is, unfortunately, what happened with the Gotham in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
Gotham's Feel Is A Critical Part Of The Batman Mythos In the Batman mythology established by DC Comics, Gotham has just as much of a role as any hero or villain. It's Bruce Wayne's home while also being the site of his greatest tragedy. It's also a great source of strength in that it has provided him with like-minded allies seeking to similarly improve the city. However, Gotham is also a battlefield hosting a war in which Batman will likely never win.
