As Warner Bros. moves forward with their upcoming slate of DC films following the financial success of Wonder Woman and Aquaman, some fans are concerned about there currently being no plans for a Superman movie and are eager to see what director Matt Reeves has in store for Batman. After discussing how the DC films will be more focused on individual characters and stories rather than a connected universe, Kevin Tsujihara noted that they still want strong movies for Superman and the Caped Crusader moving forward:
“What Patty Jenkins did on “Wonder Woman” illustrated to us what you could do with these characters who are not Batman and Superman. Obviously, we want to get those two in the right place, and we want strong movies around Batman and Superman. But “Aquaman” is a perfect example of what we can do. They’re each unique and the tone’s different in each movie.”
While the future of Superman remains in question, a new film featuring the Dark Knight is due to be released in roughly two years. Plot details for The Batman are currently under wraps, though the film will center around a younger Bruce Wayne and includes multiple villains. Matt Reeves also confirmed that it will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic and will use of the Dark Knight’s detective skills to a greater extent than previous DC Films.
