Batman 2 star Sebastian Stan compares making the superhero sequel to The Godfather Part II: "I do feel like it’s going to be a payoff"

When Robert Pattinson’s first outing as the Dark Knight made its way into theaters, fans and critics were calling it the best Batman movie since, well, The Dark Knight. Where does that leave Matt Reeves’ eagerly anticipated The Batman 2, then? With production underway and an air of mystery still covering the movie like a smog on a cold Gotham evening, one of the newest talents joining Reeves’ world, Sebastian Stan, has made a bold comparison about how things are going, and it involves one of the greatest films ever made. During an interview with Variety, the matter of bats and men predictably came up, and Stan was careful in discussing it.
