THE MCU has gone through multiple phases and ended their Avengers films after 10 successful years of planning and success. Warner Bros in that time has rebooted Batman…3 times. Its Honest Trailers – THE BATMAN time!
The Batman is a 2022 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Batman. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Films, 6th & Idaho, and Dylan Clark Productions, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is a reboot of the Batman film franchise. The film was directed by Matt Reeves, who wrote the screenplay with Peter Craig. It stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman alongside Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell. The film sees Batman, who has been fighting crime in Gotham City for two years, uncover corruption while pursuing the Riddler (Dano), a serial killer who targets Gotham’s elite.
It is intended to launch a Batman shared universe, with two sequels planned and two spin-off television series in development for HBO Max. Could you imagine if Warner Bros put this much effort into the rest of the DCEU?
