I just realized I posed this in the new Batman film thread. Damn all these Batman threads. We need a title change. Also I was barely awake.
I have no problem with them getting stuff ready just in case its a hit and Farrell nails it, but yeah they're just throwing everything against the wall hoping something sticks.
According to the renowned insider, Daniel Richtman, and confirmed by Batman On Film, Warner Bros has given Matt Reeves the all-clear to drive head-on with a sequel to the upcoming The Batman. It seems like the head honchos over at Warner Bros share an insurmountable amount of interest in Matt Reeves’ iteration of the Dark Knight, they’re so invested, they are actively launching their own cinematic universe surrounded by The Batman. There are at least two spin-offs in development, so a sequel to The Batman should be of little surprise. Rumors have already begun circling the web suggesting that The Batman sequel will be based on the famed, No Man’s Land arc, where Gotham literally became cut off from the rest of civilization and somehow managed to become even more of the lawless cesspool than it was. I don’t know about that, it may be too soon to adapt No Man’s Land, they may just end up just borrowing elements, similar to what The Dark Knight Rises and Gotham’s fifth season did. Those rumors could be wrong, and No Man’s Land may not be adapted in any shape or form. The possibilities for what direction a sequel can go are infinite, they can adapt Dark Victory, Courts of Owls, or do a completely original story. Whatever direction Reeves and Warner Bros decide to go in, it shouldn’t be an issue as long as it’s done with finesse
So basically WB execs: “Hey internets we hear you might actually be excited about our newest new attempt at DC Super Hero stuff. And it’s very good you can trust us. So good we might even make a sequel… but nothing is confirmed ya know. The sequel could be about this thing… But it also could be about anything else… But, like, what would potentially be your thoughts on this thing, just in case we do potentially start working on this thing? Asking for a friend…Oh also this is not us saying this, this is ‘renowned’ insider saying this so you can totes mcgotes trust him… Or well it’s not even him saying it. It’s his ‘sources’ within the, um, Hollywood. But again very trustworthy Hollywood sources be assured…we’ll hang up an listen— I mean get started on possible potential sequel stuff in case you actually like our super hero thing this time— I mean bc we know you’re going to love our new super hero thing.”
Will there be continuous Batman reboots until the sun expands and engulfs the earth? Many people are saying it.
They still haven’t even scratched the surface on the rogues gallery and any of the great comic stories.
