Information regarding “The Batman: Part II” includes that it’s currently being prepared for production, and a significant player in the cast has already shared his thoughts on what he desires to be included in the sequel. Andy Serkis, who portrays the loyal (and sometimes frustrated) Alfred Pennyworth, recently disclosed some of his views on the character’s connection with Bruce Wayne. Additionally, the actor unveiled a personal aspiration for how their relationship could progress in the upcoming installment of Matt Reeves’ brooding superhero tale.
The comments were made during Serkis’ appearance at FAN EXPO Philadelphia 2025, during a comprehensive panel talk about his career. This event was streamed by Fandom Wire News on YouTube. As questions about his renowned characters like Gollum and Caesar were addressed, the discussion eventually veered towards the upcoming DC film. When inquired about Alfred’s bond with Bruce, the experienced actor displayed a thoughtful demeanor, giving fans an insight into what made the role captivating. He spoke candidly about what made the part so fulfilling, revealing:
In the last film by Matt Reeves, what resonated with me deeply was the portrayal of a protector, devoid of any trace of paternal instinct, striving to be a father figure he could never truly embody. This emotional struggle lay at the heart of their bond. He grappled with the weight of his perceived failure towards the one individual he holds dear and seeks to care for. Despite his proficiency in providing practical support, such as teaching skills, deciphering codes, and combat tactics, derived from his military background, there was a profound void when it came to genuine paternal affection for him.
For Serkis, there remains a rich opportunity for more in-depth examination of that lingering tension. Although he hasn’t revealed the plot details or the creative path chosen by director Matt Reeves for the upcoming superhero films, he expressed an eagerness to delve deeper into the emotional weaknesses in their relationship. He further added:
I’m curious to delve deeper into that subject and push its boundaries. To be honest, I don’t have any background knowledge on the story or where Matt is leading it, but I’d really enjoy seeing it explored in an even more intense scenario.
In The Batman film, Serkis’ Alfred is depicted as a tougher, emotionally restrained character compared to previous live-action adaptations. His military background and internal struggles have given him a distinct edge. This portrayal provides a unique twist to the traditionally warm and witty butler character, offering a complex father figure for Robert Pattinson’s brooding Bruce Wayne. Furthermore, this version of Alfred adds an intriguing depth to the psychological complexity that sets The Batman franchise apart from other superhero franchises focusing more on spectacle.

While the new DC Universe has begun with the “Gods and Monsters” chapter and will expand significantly when James Gunn’s Superman enters the scene for the 2025 movie release, Matt Reeves’ The Batman continues to exist within its own distinct universe (and can be watched with an HBO Max subscription). However, there has been some apprehension among fans regarding the sequel’s prospects due to rumors about Robert Pattinson being considered for Dune 3.
Some have mused that the upcoming chapter in Reeves’ Gotham series might encounter difficulties, following its latest schedule pushback. Yet, Serkis’ recent comments (detailed fully above) subtly imply a comforting assurance that Reeves’ sequel is still moving forward undeterred within the production process.
Absolutely, plans can change once filming starts, and I, similar to Andy Serkis, eagerly anticipate that the dynamic between Alfred and Bruce will be a key focus for director Matt Reeves as we approach the scheduled release of “The Batman: Part II” on October 1, 2027.
