With DC and Warner Bros keen to re-start their DC cinematic universe, the film is giving them hope that universe can still stay alive.  The Batman is also Warner Bros first straight to cinema release since they released Christopher Nolan‘s Tenet in 2020. The film so far has been there biggest viewership outdoing the likes of Wonder Woman 1984, The Matrix Resurrections, Dune.

There is still plenty to come from the Batman universe with a spin-off series that will focus on Arkham Asylum as well as Gotham Police Department. Another limited series will be The Penguin with Colin Farrell set to reprise his role with Matt Reeves involved in all of these spin-off projects.

Off course fans of  The Caped Crusader will wonder who will play the villain (s) on the second film? Will it take inspiration once again from many of the released graphic novels? Could it be Hush who was teased by Paul Dano‘s  Riddler? Will it be Barry Keoghan‘s clown prince of crime Joker and his relationship with the Dark Knight? Will Batman still be vengeance or more focused on the iconic crime fighter? It’s exciting news , but no release date or potential plot has been announced yet.
