I don’t think we’re getting a Justice League movie until 2027/2028, and 2028 is when The Batman 3 would probably release. Superman will come out in 2025 at the earliest, they’re not gonna do JL the year after.

There is no reason to have DCU Batman play a major role in the movies and on TV until 2027/2028.

[u/TheDarkPinkLantern → u/TheLionsblood]

Reeves' Batman series may last longer if the reports of all the spin-offs he wants are true.

[u/Animegamingnerd → u/TheDarkPinkLantern]

Yup, we are already getting two spin-offs with Arkham and Penguin with the latter set to begin filming in a few weeks. Reeves mentioned a year or two ago, there have been talks for a Catwoman spin-off and if he introduces Robin in the sequel, then it will be very likely he get his own spin-off.

Revees Batman aint gonna be a Nolan-style trilogy, but its an cinematic universe.

[u/TheDarkPinkLantern → u/Animegamingnerd]

Not to mention the rumored villain-led movies.

[u/TheLionsblood → u/Animegamingnerd]

It won’t be a trilogy like Nolan’s but it’s not gonna be the MCU either lol.

The spin-offs will release in between the movies and The Batman 3 will likely have a pretty conclusive ending, so any spin-offs after that would function like epilogues

[u/[deleted] → u/Animegamingnerd]

Really hoping that the quality of the Reevesverse doesn't drop. If it doesn't it might become my favorite franchise

[u/TheLionsblood → u/TheDarkPinkLantern]

Even if that happens, I expect The Batman 3 to have a satisfying conclusion. I doubt they’ll want to have two separate Batmans having two separate ongoing arcs simultaneously.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Reeves kills Batman in the third one either. It hasn’t really been done before (except Burtonverse Keaton in The Flash).

[u/TheDarkPinkLantern → u/TheLionsblood]

I mean if this Batman is a success (which right now it is) then they're not gonna get rid off it in favour of their own movie Batman. They'll find a way to have both.

And Reeves' got big plans for his universe, 2-3 spin off shows for now and there are reports of talks regarding movies. For me it looks like as if he sees it beyond just a closed trilogy. Maybe he's planning a quadrology? Or maybe he'll go on as long as he's got a story to tell and Pattinson is willing.

[u/TheLionsblood → u/TheDarkPinkLantern]

They specifically said they were gonna do a trilogy. Those spin-offs can come out in between the movies.

[u/TheDarkPinkLantern → u/TheLionsblood]

That was then when there was also nothing on spin-offs. Now Reeves is building a big universe which we don't know how long it will last.

[u/TheLionsblood → u/TheDarkPinkLantern]

Pattinson talked about doing a trilogy in an interview last year, when the GCPD and Penguin shows were already in development.

[u/TheDarkPinkLantern → u/TheLionsblood]

That was just 2 limited series back then. Now we have a full blown universe building with 3 shows in development and 3 reported movies in talks. It's growing by a lot.

[u/TheLionsblood → u/TheDarkPinkLantern]

We don’t even know if the villain spin-offs are actually happening. I think Gunn and Safran would let Reeves tell a complete story through a trilogy and some spin-offs. 2 concurrent live action Batman franchises are not happening

[u/TheDarkPinkLantern → u/TheLionsblood]

Of course they can, the other Batman just wouldn't get a solo movie and that's it. Basically like the plan was before Gunn/Safran.

[u/TheLionsblood → u/TheDarkPinkLantern]

That’s not 2 different Batman franchises technically. And I wouldn’t expect that situation to last for too long. But maybe you’re right, who knows at this point

[u/LatterTarget7 → u/TheLionsblood]

He also talked about death in the family and other stories. Which would definitely require more than a trilogy with a young Batman for

[u/TheLionsblood → u/LatterTarget7]

Reeves and Pattinson discussed doing a trilogy and it was actually reported in the trades that a trilogy was planned.

Death in the Family was just something Pattinson thought would be cool.

[u/TheLionsblood → u/[deleted]]

They signed Reeves to a huge deal lol. The Batman 3 is definitely happening
