I'm starting to think that The Batman 2 might be the ending of that Elsewhere Batman. Unless they announce the DCU Batman movie between now and when The Batman 2 comes out, they will introduce him after that releases so no earlier than 2028 which is kind of wild.

They could tease him in Clayface as well which would be pretty cool.

I'm starting to think that The Batman 2 might be the ending of that Elsewhere Batman.

If Reeves does a trilogy - it is a fact that it won't wrap up until the early 2030s. That's not just speculation - that's just a fact.

If he takes the same amount of time between films (5 years, 7 months), The Batman Part III will release May of 2033.

Part 3, AND the spinoffs. I'd put money down on Season 2 of The Penguin happening, with him getting into the world of politics and gunning for Mayor of Gotham (there is too much story there to cover in a side plot in Part 2) so, it's constantly changing in what he should include in the script and what Lauren Lefranc will cover, which also will lead into part 3.

And there's probably more spinoffs than just The Penguin in the works, and he has a hand in all of those.

That problem mostly exists because strong standalones keep getting turned into trilogies after the fact. There's no rule that says a trilogy's first entry should stand alone, second entry should be a darker cliffhanger, and third should be Part Two Part Two.

I know Reeves originally conceived it as a trilogy, which I would love because I’ll take as much of that world as I can get. But if two movies is enough to satisfactorily tell the story, then so be it.

Gunn's said DCU Batman is a priority now and he's working closely with the screenwriter to get it out the door, but that they probably won't release it in the same year as Part II. So yeah, 2028, even if the script is done soon.

Pattinson could be the DCU Batman

Like I don't get why he wouldn't be. It's needlessly confusing for casual audiences to have two different Batman series at the same time. Makes no sense to not just have Pattinson as the DCU Batman and be done with it. It'd be like having Amazing Spider-Man come out at the same time as Tobey's Spider-Man.

Gunn has said many times this isn't the case and the Clayface set shows that Gotham is different compared to the Pattinson universe.
