The DCU is nearly up and running, but the plan with DC's Elseworlds continuity could prevent anything like The Dark Knight from happening again.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT More than 15 years after it was released, it is safe to say that Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy still holds up as one of the greatest comic book movie franchises of all time - but it is one that could not happen with the new DC Universe Elseworlds plan.
This seems fair enough at face value, but it would be remiss to ignore the impact of the DCU on such projects. In this current state of affairs, the acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy would fall under the Elseworlds banner like The Batman does now. At the same time, the DCU will be introducing its own iteration of Batman in The Brave and the Bold, whose chosen actor will be set to reprise their role for many movies to come.
Conversely, the DCU could suffer in the wake of standalone success stories. The Batman and Joker, which both have upcoming sequels in the works, have been critically acclaimed to the same degree as The Dark Knight trilogy. The DCU, then, will now have a tough time distancing itself from these movies while making an impact in its own right, potentially suffering as their quality is measured up against that of their darker yet less narratively constrained cinematic counterparts.
