Amid course correcting the DCEU and the scorched-earth approach from the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, The Batman can prove it can stand wholly on its own.
Between DC Films still grappling with how to correct the course of a cinematic universe that stumbled almost as fast as it started and the new executive team from the Warner Bros. Discovery merger deciding to eviscerate HBO Max content, things aren’t that much clearer for the DCEU than they were two years ago.
To be fair, DC has had some notable successes in more recent years with the likes of the first Wonder Woman and Aquaman, which are part of its interconnected mainline universe. But even still, it hasn’t achieved the consistency in its releases needed to structurally recover from the DCEU’s early panning when WB rushed it out the door in a half-baked measure to imitate the MCU.
It might be understandably eye-rolling to hear something like this given how often and pretentiously words like these are thrown around in social media fandoms. Nonetheless, having an auteur director like Reeves at the helm of this world ensures his Batman, his Gotham City, and everyone else who populates it takes part in projects that focus on telling a complete and satisfying story first — and continuations second.
But what the director is poised to do could put together the best aspects of Nolan’s trilogy with the exciting world-building of a cinematic universe template. Batman is a character whose sandbox is so rich that he and his supporting cast could easily fill out its own contained world, and a fully realized trilogy along with the upcoming spinoffs could emphasize that.
The Batman - Arkham Deleted Scene Robert Pattinson, Barry Keoghan The future is bright for The Batman theatrically, as the same level of creativity taken with Paul Dano’s iteration of the Riddler could be extended to the more larger-than-life members of the Dark Knight’s rogues’ gallery without feeling out of place. Even beyond that, though, are the aforementioned spinoffs in the works for HBO Max.
