The Batman 3 Finally Gets A Positive Update

Robert Pattinson might finish his run as Batman earlier than anticipated. Despite previous delays with The Batman Part II, reports indicate that DC Studios wants to move forward with Matt Reeves’ planned Batman trilogy more quickly.

According to insider DanielRPK, fans shouldn’t expect The Brave and the Bold movie for quite some time. He also shared that James Gunn is eager to get The Batman 3 released as quickly as possible, wanting to complete the planned trilogy and avoid having two different Batman universes running simultaneously.

Recent news indicates a shift in strategy at DC Studios that Batwoman fans will likely appreciate. Although James Gunn has publicly supported Matt Reeves’ deliberate filmmaking style, sources suggest there’s now a push to conclude Robert Pattinson’s Batman story more quickly, according to a report from RPK.

I’ve been hearing the talk about potentially having two different Batmans in the DC universe, and James Gunn has addressed that before. What’s really interesting is that he’s said his version of Bruce Wayne is going to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen on screen – a totally fresh take on the character.

Robert Pattinson’s Batman lives in its own separate world, outside the main DC Universe. At the same time, the upcoming film The Brave and the Bold will introduce a different Batman who will be central to the new, connected DC Universe James Gunn is building.

James Gunn stated in January that he doesn’t plan to release two Batman movies in one year. He explained on Threads that the release of The Brave and the Bold depends on having a finished script. He also mentioned that they’re already far along in production on Batman 2 and want to avoid confusing audiences until after that film is released.

That announcement is now even more significant. If The Batman Part II stays on track for an October 2027 release, and James Gunn wants to finish the Batman trilogy quickly, The Batman 3 could be released as soon as 2029 or 2030. This would then allow The Brave and the Bold to move forward in 2030 or later.

Peter Safran, a co-CEO of DC Studios, revealed last February that a three-movie series was planned. While the idea of a trilogy was always in place, the exact schedule for releasing the films wasn’t clear.

Why The Batman 3 Movie Still Needs to Happen Despite Gunn’s Reboot

Moving forward with a third Batman movie quickly is good for everyone. Fans will get a satisfying conclusion to the story they’ve been following, instead of waiting years for it to finish.

As a film fan, I’m really impressed with what Pattinson and Reeves have done with ‘The Batman’. They didn’t just leave us hanging with a half-baked story; they really delivered a complete, artistic take on the character. And honestly, it feels like Warner Bros. Discovery is smartly building on that, capitalizing on the excitement while we’re all still totally invested in this version of Batman.

Let’s talk about the other option, and frankly, it worries me. Delaying The Batman 3 all the way into the mid-2030s? That feels like a huge risk. Superhero movie audiences are fickle – what excites them now can feel old hat pretty quickly. By 2034, something that feels innovative in 2027 could easily fall flat. I think getting Reeves’ dark, gritty crime story finished while it still feels relevant is the smart move.

This strategy helps DC Studios avoid confusion and work smoothly. Having two different Batman movie series running at the same time would create marketing problems and quickly tire out viewers.

Finishing the Reeves-directed Batman trilogy by 2030 would provide a natural conclusion, allowing the upcoming film, The Brave and the Bold, to be released without being constantly compared to or overshadowed by the previous films.

Ultimately, completing The Batman 3 quickly benefits everyone involved. It allows director Matt Reeves to finish his planned Batman trilogy without interruption, and it gives James Gunn the freedom to introduce his own version of Batman into the DC Universe without being overshadowed by an alternate storyline. This means both directors can fully realize their visions, both Batman characters get the development they deserve, and fans get to enjoy two unique and separate interpretations.
