The Turmoil Behind The Batman Sequel: Delays, Dropouts, and Uncertain Future
In 2022, Warner Bros. and DC Films released The Batman, a fresh take on the iconic superhero directed and written by Matt Reeves. Starring Robert Pattinson as a younger, still-unpolished Bruce Wayne, the film was both a box office triumph and critically appreciated by many fans who yearned for a darker, more serious Batman story. With a production budget of around $200 million, it soared beyond expectations, grossing over $770 million worldwide, signaling a successful reboot of sorts for DC’s cinematic universe.
