EVERY UPCOMING DC PROJECT SET IN THE ‘BATMAN’ UNIVERSE

The Batverse begins. Here's everything you need to know about every upcoming DC
project set in Matt Reeves' 'Batman' universe.

After years of anticipation, The Batman finally opened this March — and it
couldn’t have been a bigger success. With its grounded tone and crime thriller
leanings, director Matt Reeves’ movie earned rave reviews from both critics —
who appreciated its elevation of the superhero genre — and hardcore fans — who
favorably compared it to Batman films of the past. On top of that, The Batman
earned over $750 million worldwide, becoming Warner Bros.’s highest-grossing
release of the pandemic era.

Needless to say, then, expect much more from Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne and
the world he inhabits to come over the next few years. The Batman was always
designed to spawn a new shared universe that’s separate from the DCEU, and the
studio is already pressing ahead with plans to grow out the Batverse, as Reeves
has dubbed it, in multiple different directions.



But what exactly does Reeves have up his sleeves? Here’s every single DC project
set in The Batman universe that’s currently in the works.


CONFIRMED PROJECTS


THE BATMAN 2 AND 3

First up, after The Batman exceeded expectations, obviously Warner Bros. is keen
to move forward with the franchise in the form of a sequel or two. Both Reeves
and Pattinson have discussed their plans to make a Batman trilogy, which may end
up giving the Dark Knight films a run for their money.

“I’m down to do it as many times as people want to see it, really,” Pattinson
said to Fandango, when talking about his desire to play Bruce for a long time to
come. “I’ve talked to Matt about the idea of doing a trilogy. I really, really
enjoyed the process, and it’s such a fun character to play.”



As for where the sequels could take the story, Pattinson has voiced his interest
in the Court of Owls being introduced, with Reeves revealing that he’s open to
adapting Robin and Mr. Freeze.


THE PENGUIN SPINOFF SERIES

Despite his iconic status and Colin Farrell’s acclaimed performance, the Penguin
wasn’t that much of a key player in The Batman, with Oswald Cobblepot mostly
serving as a red herring in Bruce’s investigation into the Riddler. But there’s
still a lot more to explore with the character, as Warner Bros. is moving
forward with a spinoff series for Farrell’s Oz.

Lauren LeFranc (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will serve as showrunner, with Matt
Reeves and Dylan Clark attached as executive producers. Compared to classic
gangster movies like The Long Good Friday and Scarface, the limited series will
chart the Penguin’s rise to the top of Gotham’s criminal underworld, filling the
power vacuum created by the death of Carmine Falcone (John Turturro) in The
Batman.




ARKHAM ASYLUM SPINOFF SERIES

In addition to the Penguin’s show, the other HBO Max spinoff that appears to be
in active development right now is a series all about Arkham Asylum, the home
away from home for the Dark Knight’s many enemies.



Warner Bros. has yet to officially announce this one, but Reeves has spoken a
lot about it in interviews. With Arkham being briefly introduced in The Batman,
the spinoff will further explore the facility’s dark history and the origins of
some of its insane inmates. Reeves has called Arkham a “haunted house” with the
production expected to have a horror-influenced tone.

It’s too early for any cast or crew to be attached, but Reeves has hinted that
Barry Keoghan’s Joker could reappear here instead of in The Batman 2.




RIDDLER: YEAR ONE COMIC BOOK

The Batverse is already so sprawling that it’s expanding into another medium. In
the wake of The Batman hitting cinemas, DC Comics announced that Edward Nashton
himself (Paul Dano) will write his own character’s origin story in Riddler: Year
One, a six-issue limited comic book series.



As the title suggests, Year One will be a prequel to The Batman that explores
how Nashton became the unhinged yet ingenious serial killer/terrorist that we
meet in the movie. Releasing through DC’s adult-oriented Black Label imprint,
expect issues to drop bi-monthly beginning this October. With Dano scripting,
the comic will be illustrated by artist Stevan Subic.


POTENTIAL PROJECTS


CATWOMAN SPINOFF SERIES

When Selina Kyle left Gotham behind for Bludhaven at the end of The Batman, fans
assumed this was setting up some kind of spinoff for Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman.
Sure enough, Reeves has admitted that he’s had conversations with HBO Max about
giving Selina her own show.

“I’ve talked to the HBO Max folks. What we’re really trying to do is to launch
this world,” he told CBR ahead of The Batman‘s release. “If the world embraces
this, we have a lot of ideas for things we want to do, and for sure we want
Selina to continue…”



It doesn’t sound like this one is as far along the road as the Penguin and
Arkham spinoffs, then, but we likely haven’t seen the last of Kravitz’s feline
felon.


CANCELLED PROJECTS


GOTHAM P.D. SERIES

WB made an early start expanding the Batverse when it announced a spinoff
focusing on the Gotham City Police Department (while The Batman was still
filming) back in summer 2020. Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) was on board as
showrunner, with Reeves producing. The series was due to take place in the first
year of Batman’s war on crime and be told from the perspective of a crooked cop.

Winter exited the project that fall, however, due to creative differences — HBO
reportedly disliked the protagonist being a random cop instead of a familiar DC
character. This year, Reeves confirmed what we all suspected, that the series
was no longer moving forward. The Arkham Asylum spinoff was created in its
place.

The Batman is streaming now on HBO Max.
