Warner Bros. has had a lot of work to do since their merger with Discovery was completed. The newly minted Warner Bros. Discovery has been in the news a lot lately, with the recently appointed CEO David Zaslav seeming like he’s a boss that’s not to be trifled with. Zaslav has already canceled a few DC Comics films like Batgirl and The Wonder Twins and just today signed James Gunn and Peter Safran to head their DC Studios division. While a lot of DC projects have been on the chopping block, there is one franchise that appears to be safe from dismissal, and that’s Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Reeves has signed an overall deal with the studio and is hard at work on several spin-offs like The Penguin and even an Arkham Asylum series for HBO Max. The director has also just begun work on a sequel to The Batman. Within Variety’s report on Gunn and Safran leading DC Studios, they also revealed that The Batman 2 might not hit theaters until 2025 or later.
