2024 saw a surge in popular Batman-related content that didn't focus on the Caped Crusader himself. The success of shows like 'The Penguin' and movies like 'Joker: Folie à Deux' highlights the enduring power of the Batman mythos and its ability to thrive beyond traditional superhero narratives.
2024 saw the release of several major Batman -related properties and while not all of them were successful, they did reveal an exciting truth about the Batman sub-franchise going forward.

October saw the release of Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to 2019’s Joker. Both properties, notably, do not include any appearances by Batman himself.
