The planned expansion of the universe of The Batman with actor Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves is still intact.
When last week’s news about the cancellation of bat girl dropped for the first time, many DC Films fans have been freaking out about the future of upcoming movies, whether it’s titles like blue beetle, or the upcoming expansion by Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves The Batman in its own universe with long-form storytelling on the big and small screen.
Given the desire of the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, to reduce costs and increase profits, this led to the cancellation of bat girl and Scoob! Holiday destination for tax deductions. Regarding the future of The Batman, fans of Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves’ first film should relax, as it seems that film’s critical and commercial success has satisfied Zaslav and the rest of WB Discovery to keep this franchise alive.
Heroic Hollywood founder and editor Umberto Gonzalez took part in a Twitter space with Erik Davis to discuss the future of DC Films, including both the DC Extended Universe and the future of Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves. Rest assured, all is well in Gotham City:
Erik Davis: is [Robert] Pattinson the guy? It was also a decision of the old regime, that first Batman movie. Really good, I loved it. A bit divisive for some people, maybe not as accessible for some people. I know [Matt] Reeves wants to do a trilogy. We spoke to Pattinson, he wants to do a trilogy. He wants to do a whole arc as Bruce Wayne. Do you think they are staying the course?
Umberto González: Of course. Why wouldn’t they? The first movie was a hit, so I’m sure they’ll let Reeves do his trilogy. This Batman in this universe will keep moving forward.
Alongside a planned trilogy, a spin-off series titled The Penguin, which will center on Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot rise in the Gotham City underworld, will be produced for HBO Max. It’s safe to say that The Batman the franchise will be fine.
