Warner Bros. Discovery is getting ready to reboot and rebrand their DC Comics franchise, and they hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to take over as co-CEOs of the newly minted DC Studios. Gunn and Safran announced 2-3 years of their Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters slate, and it included projects like Superman: Legacy, The Authority, Swamp Thing, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and even The Brave and the Bold. The latter of which is set to introduce yet another new Batman, but don’t worry; they have no plans of ending Robert Pattinson’s tenure and the Dark Knight. Gunn and Safran revealed that they do not intend on having both films released around the same time and that they would clearly label The Batman Part II as not a part of the DC Universe but DC Elseworlds. Not much is known about what director Matt Reeves and Pattinson will do next, but the film is set to be released on October 3rd, 2025. Fans have been wondering who could be the film’s next villain and nothing has even been hinted at. Batman Begins star Liam Neeson was recently asked if he’d return as a villain in The Batman universe, and the actor had a pretty interesting reply.
