With James Gunn and Peter Safran now in charge over at DC, what’s going on with all things Batman? Officially confirmed today with the announcement of DC’s massive upcoming slate of big and small screen projects, Matt Reeves‘ The Batman 2 will be branded as an “Elseworlds” film within the new DC Universe, existing separately from the fresh core universe.
The Batman 2 is currently set for theatrical release on October 3, 2025, we’ve learned this afternoon as well, with Robert Pattinson returning to play Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Gunn and Safran also announced a brand new Batman feature film titled The Brave and the Bold, which will center on Bruce Wayne’s son and feature a new actor as Batman.
“The movie will feature Batman and his son, Damien Wayne, as Robin,” Variety details.
Gunn teases, “[Robin is an] assassin, [a] murderer who Batman takes on, who is Batman’s actual son that he doesn’t know exists for the first 8-10 years of his life….it’s a strange father and son story about the two of them and based on Grant Morrison’s run of the Batman.”
The Brave and the Bold is part of DC’s new universe titled “Chapter 1 – Gods & Monsters.”
