As promised, DC Studios co-chair, James Gunn, delivered announcements on the upcoming DCU (something I\u2019ll build on in another write-up). While the announcements for the first part of Chapter 1 (think \u201cphases\u201d from the MCU) were both exciting and odd, one announcement that\u2019s been making the rounds has me stoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE SEQUEL TO \u2018THE BATMAN<\/strong><\/a>\u2019, named, \u2018THE BATMAN PART II\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it doesn\u2019t stop there. From the sound of things, looks like Matt Reeves is planning a trilogy for his Batman universe. Will it happen? One can only hope because THE BATMAN was badass!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for when we\u2019ll see PART II? Never fear, it\u2019s been announced that it\u2019ll hit theatres on October 3, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though with all the announcements coming out today for the DCU, if you\u2019re wondering where this Batman will fall in the universe James Gunn and Peter Safran are building, well, it won\u2019t. THE BATMAN, and the upcoming JOKER follow-up, will fall under the brand, DC Elseworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans of DC Comics undoubtedly know the imprint well. Comic wise, the Elseworld imprint serves as a place to allow comic creators, who have interesting takes on DC characters to bring to life on the page. And looks like there will be a cinematic counterpart for filmmakers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter? Wondering how I feel about it. While I enjoy Marvel movies, definitely feel like the success of the MCU spawned the idea that everything after needs to be a shared universe. And feels like audiences are arguing franchises that came before are suddenly universes, <\/em>when they clearly weren\u2019t. So, in that context, having room to play, and not being bogged down by argument if something is \u201ccanon\u201d or not, well, that\u2019s just appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at the same time, with something like comic book characters, also like the linear metric\u2026 but now I\u2019m just babbling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In anycase, are you excited for the sequel to THE BATMAN? Drop your thoughts on the Fuzzybug Facebook Page<\/a> <\/strong>today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE BATMAN is currently streaming on HBO Max<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
