The Batman Part II will also mark the one of the first titles to be released under DC Studios’ “DC Elseworlds” banner. The movies and TV shows released as DC Elseworlds titles will signify that these projects are not connected to the DCU. That will also apply to the upcoming Joker sequel that’s also in the works with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, as well as the planned Superman standalone film written by Ta-Nehisi Coates that’s confirmed to still be in the works after a serious lack of updates since 2021.
Multiple Batmen Will Be Heading to the Big Screen
The Batman Part II will not affect what happens with the Dark Knight in the DCU. Gunn and Safran have announced that their version of Batman introduced in this new continuity will start with the film The Brave and the Bold. The movie will follow Bruce Wayne and the Damian Wayne version of Robin. No casting information has been revealed at this time with the film still in its early stages, but a new actor will be brought in to play the new incarnation of Batman.
Meanwhile, while fans will have to wait until 2025 to see what happens next with Robert Pattinson’s Batman on the big screen, that franchise will first take a detour on HBO Max with a spinoff series. Following Colin Farrell’s Penguin, the show is set to start filming next month and will arrive years earlier than The Batman Part II. However, a release date has not yet been announced.
The Batman Part II will be released on Oct. 3, 2025.
