I'm certainly not a Batman expert, so I'll give way to some of you more comic book experts if I'm way off here, but I'm seeing several points in that tweet which lend themselves to Court of Owls.

Yeah, no official word yet but the Court of Owls has been heavily rumored for this movie for a while now. There was also the below shot from The Penguin last year that used blatant OWL shapes along the walls of a COURT room, which, IMO, all but sealed the deal. Given that Oz is now in politics, and considering Bruce's aristocratic roots, it would make a ton of sense...

New details on 'The Batman 2' from Matt Reeves 🦇

• Villain has 'never really been done in a movie before'

• Film pushes further into Bruce Wayne 'because the first one is so focused on Batman'

• Has no idea if 'The Batman 3' will happen

• Thinks it would be 'a lot of… pic.twitter.com/JMwG1lnUlH

The Court of Owls storyline is very much a Bruce Wayne story as opposed to a Batman story.

Has to be Court of Owls if it's never been done in a movie.

Yes and no. I think the Court of Owls will likely play a significant role and be revealed as pulling the strings, but Batman still needs a singular, physical villain to go up against. The two most prominent rumors in that regard have been Clayface and Hush, but seeing as Clayface is now getting his own DCU movie, that basically leaves either Hush or some other villain we haven't seen yet in live action. Personally, I was hoping for a more grounded take on Mr. Freeze, but Reeves' latest comments seem to rule him out.

But we already have a perfect depiction of Mr. Freeze in film.
