Project Batman 2

Project Batman is the sequel to Project Batman. It released on February 27th, 2017, just a few months after the first film. The story takes place soon after the last movie and wraps up the plot of the villains' escape from prison.
== Plot ==
After the defeat of the Joker's robot, the villains regroup. Batman begins investigating the Joker's next move and eventually locates him in a blimp.
== Production ==
While a sequel wasn't initially planned, due to the major success of the first movie, PB2 was quickly announced. Production started right on Christmas Day, 2016 and the weeks that followed. Progress on the movie paused for a month or so due to writers block and so to make the movie more interesting, Robin was written into the movie as a side-kick to Batman. While the movie was being exported, there were some unforeseen issues with the editing software that caused the credits text, special effects such as greenscreens, and images to disappear and make the screen go black. None of which impaired the movie's quality too much. A third movie to end the trilogy was in mind when the movie was in production. Dicksonberg and his father were plot threads intentionally left unfinished to be explored in the third film.
== Reception ==
Project Batman 2 was met with unanimous praise initially. Fans of the first movie were treated to an expanded, more fully realized sequel that had more to offer in terms of characters, story, action, and setpieces. Viewers enjoyed the inclusion of Robin and the added depth to the plot and Batman's character. Overall, the movie is considered a direct upgrade and became the blueprint for the future Project movies. In recent years, the movie is still held in high regard and generally the most enjoyed out of the original trilogy.
== DVD Release ==
On March 16th, 2019, Project Batman 2 was released to DVD along with Project Batman 1 and Project Batman 3. It included the (new version of the) trailer and a special trailer that introduces Tim Drake.
== Trivia ==
Project Batman 2 is the first to introduce long-time staples of the series. Some of which being the "thug fights" which are a well-known trope of the first 4 Project Batman movies. PB2 was also the first movie to introduce Jonathan Dicksonberg and The Gangster Lord, characters that would be very important in later movies.
There are many direct references to the Batman: Arkham video game series throughout the movie such as the thug fights, stealth sequence, Scarecrow sequence, Robin, and the final fight being a mutated version of The Joker.
