A couple of months ago, The Batman II's release date was pushed back by a whole year, raising more questions about how the "Elseworlds" movie will fit into DC Studios' wider plans for the Dcu.
While James Gunn has said out-of-continuity projects will continue to be made, it's still strange to think that The Batman sequel is going to compete with The Brave and the Bold, a Batman and Robin-led project featuring the Dcu's new Dark Knight.
There's no reason why two versions of Bruce Wayne can't coexist on screen at the same time, of course, though comparisons will be inevitable and the pressure is going to be on Andy Muschietti to deliver a movie that's as good, if not better, than what Matt Reeves did with The Batman in 2022.
Earlier this week, Gunn debunked a pretty exciting rumour about The Batman II and The Batman III being shot back-to-back.

In 2022, rising out against the pandemic and towards a box office resurrection, The Batman from Matt Reeves starring Robert Pattinson also went down as one of the most fan-favorite outings of the character. Featuring a young version of the Caped Crusader, who had just begun his work in ridding the streets of Gotham, crime-free, the movie amassed acclaim for a number of creative decisions that had never made their way to the big screens before, making fans clamor and demand for more.

DC’s movie adaptations of comics currently have two live-action Batmen. One is in Gunn’s upcoming ‘The Brave and the Bold,’ while the other is part of a project spun off from the Dceu under the ‘Elseworlds’ label: Matt Reeves’s ‘The Batman,’ starring Robert Pattinson.
‘The Batman’ was intended to be the first in a trilogy of movies. Shortly after its release, ‘The Batman – Part II’ was announced. In December 2021, Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves discussed ideas for future Batman films, including introducing Robin and featuring various villains like the Court of Owls. Then, in April 2022, Warner Bros. announced the development of the next Batman film, with Matt Reeves directing and Robert Pattinson starring.
The movie experienced delays a few months ago, and there has been no news since. However, a rumor recently circulated on social media suggesting that Parts 2 and 3 would be filmed back-to-back in 2025.

A prequel to the two Stephen King-based It movies from Andy Muschietti, Max’s upcoming series “Welcome to Derry” will feature the return of Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise the Clown, but when can you expect to start streaming? Max is eyeing a 2025 premiere.
HBO’s Casey Bloys tells Variety this week, “One of the advantages that I think we have as a company, putting aside HBO for a second, is all the Warner Bros. IP. So after House of the Dragon, the next big tentpole series that we have coming up will be the Penguin with Colin Farrell. That is coming out of Matt Reeves’ The Batman and it’s fantastic. Just like Peacemaker came out of James Gunn’s Suicide Squad, it’s a really good example of what you can do. That’ll be in September.”

The Conjuring 4 – which, last we heard, was going by the title The Conjuring: Last Rites – is expected to be the final installment of the series at the heart of the Conjuring Universe… but it’s only the ending when it comes to big screen feature films. Fourteen months ago, it was announced that a The Conjuring TV series is in the works at the Max streaming service, and now Casey Bloys, the chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content, has confirmed that the show is still in development.

The Batman was released to glowing reviews in 2022 and, while it could have easily been a standalone movie similar to Joker, Warner Bros. wasted no time in enlisting filmmaker Matt Reeves for a sequel.
Rumours of a second and third movie shooting back have proven false, but The Penguin is still on track to be released later this year. The Max series will bridge the gap between The Batman and The Batman II, chronicling Ozwald Cobblepot's rise to Gotham City Kingpin.
While we've previously been told that The Penguin will launch on the streamer this "fall," the official premiere month has just been shared by Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content.

In 2016, Zack Snyder launched Ben Affleck as the Dark Knight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The outing marked DC Studios’ next big take on the character following the immense acclaim received just years earlier with the Christian Bale version helmed by Christopher Nolan. However, unlike its predecessor, the ambitious, dark, gritty, and unhinged Dceu version failed to strike a chord at the box office, with a canonical wipeout coming in with 2023’s The Flash.

In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Mothra made her surprise return and helped the movie's title characters put their differences aside. The iconic Kaiju perished in Godzilla: King of the Monsters courtesy of the evil King Ghidorah, making the apparent retcon confusing for many fans.
A Mothra egg was discovered shortly after her death, though an explanation for how it was transported into Hollow Earth has never been shared. So, was the Mothra we met a resurrected version of the one that died, the Titan that came out of the egg, or the true original?
Talking in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's "Art of" book (via SFFGazette.com), filmmaker Adam Wingard confirmed a big theory about Mothra and finally set the record straight on this apparent plot hole.

It’s shaping up to be a big summer for Max in France. Warner Bros. Discovery’s standalone streaming service is finally launching on Tuesday in France and Belgium with a splashy lineup, including “House of the Dragon” Season 2 and coverage of the upcoming Olympic Games starting on July 26.
While in Paris for the “House of the Dragon” premiere, Jb Perrette, president/CEO of global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery, and Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content, sat down with Variety to discuss hitting the ground running in France.
Max has rolled out in over 65 territories, including 20 across Europe, since its U.S. launch in May 2023, when the streaming service was rebranded after the 2022 merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery.

The Batman - Part II was originally supposed to be released on October 3, 2025, but as 2024 arrived with very few official updates amid potentially production-crippling strikes, speculation mounted that a delay may be inevitable, and the movie was officially pushed back almost a full year to October 2, 2026.
The lack of news over the past few months led to concern that Matt Reeves' sequel may have been cancelled altogether (not likely), but we had been assured that everything was still on track, and a very exciting rumor did the rounds today which claimed that The Batman - Part II was scheduled to begin filming next year - with Reeves shooting a third instalment back-to-back.
Given the amount of time that's been spent developing the sequel and previous comments Reeves made about expanding the "BatVerse," this seemed plausible enough, but DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn has now debunked the report via Threads.

A few months ago, The Batman 2 was pushed back by a whole year, raising more questions about how the "Elseworlds" movie will fit into DC Studios' wider plans for the Dcu.
While James Gunn has said out-of-continuity projects will continue to be made, it's still strange to think that The Batman sequel will have to compete with The Brave and the Bold, a Batman and Robin-led project featuring a different Dark Knight.
Still, The Batman was a hit for Warner Bros. in 2022 (it earned over $770 million) and they're the ones who have the final say, not DC Studios.

There are ample reasons why Matt Reeves’ superhero flick with its noir edges and pensive tones instantly bewitched fans. From Robert Pattinson’s brooding Caped Crusader against the tragic backdrop of Gotham City and a rich, compelling storyline that highlights Batman’s detective side to the laudable production, The Batman was both a cinematic and commercial success.

But where Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne checked all the boxes and more, Barry Keoghan’s Joker seems to have fallen short. Or at least that’s what some moviegoers think.
How Barry Keoghan’s Joker in The Batman Differs From Past Versions
Unlike previous versions of the classic villain, Barry Keoghan’s Clown Prince of Crime in Matt Reeves’ The Batman has a congenital condition owing to which he cannot stop smiling. Not only that, but the Joker also has a more distinct facial scarring, which only accentuates Keoghan’s malformed look.

Disney+ is an incredibly versatile streaming platform, one that offers much more than the kids content that most audiences immediately associate the company with. Its programming lineup got another big upgrade this year when the streamer officially launched the Hulu on Disney+ one-app experience for customers who subscribe to both services. Thanks to a licensing deal between Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery, that arrangement means that Disney+ and Hulu subscribers can now watch films from the two biggest comic book-based franchises in U.S. media — DC and Marvel — on one streaming app.
Key Details Disney+ has been home to movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years but has never offered DC movies until now. Viewers can stream “The Batman” and “Joker” on Disney+ if they also have a Hulu subscription.

There have effectively been innumerable versions of Batman, both in the comics and in live-action and TV series depictions. While the character in itself has been utterly dark in quite a few of them, arguably none came closer to Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder’s version of the caped crusader, seen in the likes of Batman vs Superman, Justice League, and 2017’s Suicide Squad.

Of course, while Affleck’s violent and murder-loving iteration of Batman falls in line with the comics, it is also comprehensively different from the kind of Batman depictions that live-actions have traditionally seen. That appears to be down to Zack Snyder’s vision, as he explained in an interview how he sees the character of Bruce Wayne, and how his childhood trauma affects him as an adult.

Soon after the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 2008’s Iron Man, DC Studios kick-started its own live-action universe, starting with Zack Snyder’s 2013 film Man of Steel. However, a multitude of reasons eventually led the Dceu to a slow death. All of it culminated with a James Gunn and Peter Safran takeover in 2022 that spawned hopes for a revitalized future for the production house. The Suicide Squad director, as of now, has his eyes fixed on the upcoming Superman movie that will spearhead the future of the franchise.

Over the years, Colin Farrell has starred in many kinds of projects. Range is one of his greatest specialties, as he can go from playing complex emotional characters to action heroes and even The Penguin in The Batman. Despite this, there is one aspect of a movie that stays consistent across most genres and films; romance.

Earlier this week, we posted a rather disturbing story about how the Neon-produced horror flick Immaculate apparently looks awful on streaming. Many viewers have complained about the movie looking almost comically dark, posting screen captures that make it look amateurishly shot. Here’s the thing, though – that’s not how the movie is supposed to look. The tweets caught the attention of director Michael Mohan, who wrote the following in reply to one angry tweeter: “I know, man. This was absolutely not done intentionally. We have no control over the compression specs of each platform. It’s a real problem that truly bums me out, and after comparing them all, iTunes is the closest to what we wanted / brighter than the rest.”

Colin Farrell reprises his role as The Penguin, and it’s now confirmed that Sky will broadcast the series in the UK.
Spoilers for The Batman lie ahead.
Matt Reeves’ The Batman was among the top ten highest grossing films of 2022, the superhero epic expanding on the darker tone previously established in the Christopher Nolan trilogy while sticking more closely to the comics. One of its most striking performances was a near unrecognisable Colin Farrell as The Penguin.
It wasn’t long before HBO Max began developing a spin-off centering around the character, which will also serve as a bridge between The Batman and the upcoming sequel, which is currently scheduled to begin filming in 2025 for release in 2026.
Little is known about the plot of the series, although Farrell recently called it “incredibly violent“. The story will follow Oswald Copplebolt (aka The Penguin) and his rise to power. Farrell said...

Glen Powell is perfectly acing his game in Hollywood two decades after starting his career, thanks to his recent pieces that have finally granted him his breakthrough: Everybody Wants Some!! and Top Gun: Maverick. But while people know him now, they don’t know how 2 actors from Avengers: Endgame accidentally helped him transform into the massive superstar he is today.

These two stars were none other than two of the three Chrises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth. Through the development of their roles, the duo reportedly greatly inspired Powell to mold himself in a way that everyone would love him. And that most certainly seems to have worked, considering how Powell is the star everyone is talking about today!

Glen Powell is sharing his thoughts on playing the role of Batman and has some ideas.
In a new interview with GQ, Powell led a tour around the Warner Bros. Studio lot and came across the Batmobile section.
“I was always a Batman guy,” Powell said. “I would have a wild take on Batman. It definitely would not be like a Matt Reeves tone – it’d probably be closer to [Michael] Keaton.”
The reporter noted that Powell doesn’t have any interest in playing a superhero. When Powell found Keaton’s Batmobile, he said, “Oh, sick! See? This is the era.”
Powell does have a history in the DC Universe. In 2012, he was credited as Trader #1 in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.
“I get my head smashed in by Bane in The Dark Knight Rises,” he said.
Keaton starred as Batman in the 1989 superhero film directed by Tim Burton...

“Joker” (2019) was originally intended to be a standalone film without sequels. However, Warner Bros. envisioned it as the beginning of DC Black, a series of darker, more experimental films separate from the DC Extended Universe. Despite the original plan, director Todd Phillips expressed interest in a sequel.
By November 2019, development on the sequel was confirmed, and in 2023, James Gunn stated that “Joker: Folie à Deux” would not be part of the mainline Dcu. Instead, it will be released under the “Elseworlds” label, in line with Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” franchise.

‘Joker’ (2019) was initially meant to be a standalone film without sequels. However, Warner Bros. planned for it to inaugurate DC Black, a series of darker, more experimental films separate from the DC Extended Universe. Director Todd Phillips expressed interest in a sequel despite the original intention.
By November of 2019, the sequel was confirmed in development, and in 2023 Gunn confirmed that ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ will not be a part of the mainline Dcu, it will instead be released under ‘Elseworlds’ label, consistent with Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’ franchise.
Soon after the sequel was announced it was revealed that Lady Gaga will be taking on the role of Harley Quinn alongside Phoenix’s Joker. Todd Phillips later explained that he cast Lady Gaga since he was familiar with her performance since he was a producer on ‘A Star is Born’ and her performance was simply magical.

As production continues on the second season of HBO's adaptation of best-selling survival horror video game, The Last of Us, we have another late casting addition in the form of an Academy Award-nominated actor.
Variety (via GameFragger.com) reports that Jeffrey Wright has signed on to play Isaac Dixon, the character he provided the voice for in The Last of Us Part II game.
This take on Isaac is described as “the quietly powerful leader of a large militia group who sought liberty but instead has become mired in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemy.”
In the game, Isaac leads the Washington Liberation Front (Wlf), who are engaged in a long-running war against the fanatical Seraphites (Scars). Abby Anderson (Kaitlyn Dever) is his most trusted and valued soldier, but she soon begins to question his ruthless and uncompromising tactics.
HBO recently unveiled the first official images from the second season,...

Colin Farrell is a versatile Irish actor who has excelled in a variety of genres, from action films to dramas and from wild comedies to very very dark comedies.
Farrell has had the good fortune to work with many of the best directors out there, including Terence Malick and Steven Spielberg. Two writers/directors in particular have been instrumental in pushing Farrell to new artistic ground. Martin McDonagh directed Farrell to his first Golden Globe win (Best Actor for “In Bruges”), and Yorgos Lanthimos led Farrell to his second Best Actor Globe nomination, this time for “The Lobster.”
And most recently, he has received acclaim for “The Banshees of Inisherin” with his first Oscar nomination and become a DC villain in “The Batman.”
Let’s raise a pint of Guinness for a toast and celebrate by counting down the 19 best screen performances of Farrell. Tour our photo gallery ranking his...

You can't do better than Jeffrey Wright, so why even try? The actor is coming off his first-ever Oscar nod for "American Fiction," which is frankly shocking given the pedigree of his previous work. We're talking about the man who starred in Mike Nichols' "Angels in America" miniseries (reprising the role he played in the original Pulitzer Prize-winning play's Broadway debut), spent 15 years playing Felix Leiter, the coolest cat in the Daniel Craig James Bond movies, and was the Mvp of Matt Reeves' "The Batman" as Jim Gordon. He was also everyone's favorite human-turned-host, Bernard Lowe, across all four seasons of "Westworld" and has recently become a member of Wes Anderson's acting troupe.
Now, HBO and "The Last of Us" writers/executive producers Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have, very wisely, elected to bring Wright back in the role that he previously tackled via voice-acting and motion-capture in 2020's...
