Warner Bros. Discovery may have already decided on who will lead their DC Studios arm with James Gunn and Peter Safran sharing those duties as Co-CEOs, so you’d think that studio would want a new future for their franchise. That would be the case if they didn’t have projects like Joker: Folie a Deux and even Matt Reeves’ The Batman universe that both operate separately from the main DC Universe. Reeves’ projects all seem to be safe, with the director signing an overall deal with the studio, and multiple spinoffs are already in development like The Penguin, a series set in Arkham Asylum, and even a GCPD series all set to be released on HBO Max. If the end of The Batman was any indication, we’re definitely going to see the Riddler (Paul Dano) and the Joker (Barry Keoghan) again in the future. Whether or not that’s the highly anticipated sequel is still to be determined. Keoghan recently did an interview with the New York Times where he revealed that he has big plans for the Joker if he appears in The Batman 2.
