The Batman: 10 Latest Developments You Need To Know
1. A 2019 Release Date
When The Batman was originally announced, the initial reports pointed to Ben Affleck donning the cape and cowl again at some point in 2018.
That was before the actor relinquished the director's chair, and with Matt Reeves coming in and wiping the slate clean, there's zero chance of it surfacing next year.
Trade publication Variety reports that the project is now targeting a 2019 release window, but even that could be ambitious given the casting uncertainty.
Last month, Warner Bros announced released dates for two unnamed films - 14 February and 5 June, 2020 - but The Batman would be up against the likes of Suicide Squad 2, Gotham City Sirens, Batgirl and Wonder Woman 2 for one of those slots if it slips any further behind schedule.
Hopefully the fans will get to see it before 2020, but don't hold your breath.
