10 Major New DC Extended Universe Rumours You Need To Know
4. There May Be Plans For Batgirl, Robin, And More In The Batman Franchise
The Batman is shrouded in secrecy, but thanks to Forbes, we may now have some intel on Matt Reeves' plans for the franchise moving forward. For starters, Warner Bros. is high on the filmmaker and have an option with him for this trilogy of movies to extend beyond that.
As for the Batgirl movie which has been in development for years now, the plan is reportedly for that to tie into The Batman series of films in some way meaning that the Barbara Gordon in that spin-off will be African American. Jeffrey Wright is playing her father Commissioner Jim Gordon in this first Batman film but, as far as we know, she hasn't been cast yet.
As for Nightwing (another movie which has been in the works for what feels like forever), Dick Grayson is expected to appear in one of Reeves' Batman films as Robin, so we can clearly look forward to his relationship with Bruce Wayne finally being explored in a modern setting somewhere down the line.
