A ‘Flash 2’ Is Already Written & Matt Reeves Is Expanding ‘The Batman’ With Multiple Villain Movies

Andy Serkis has had a busy 2022 this year with supporting roles as Alfred in Matt Reeves‘ “The Batman” and inmate Kino Loy in “Andor,” airing on Disney+ now. But thanks to those gigs, Serkis had to leave behind some other projects he was involved in, like the “Venom” franchise, which he directed the second installment of last year.

Henry Cavill, aka The Man of Steel, will once again battle for truth, justice and the American way.

There’s a new showrunner at the helm of HBO Max’s The Batman prequel series about Arkham Asylum. The Staircase creator Antonio Campos has been tapped to serve as showrunner-executive producer and also will direct on the series, Deadline has confirmed.

Following the breaking news that James Gunn and Peter Safran have been tapped to oversee the newly branded DC Studios, the good DC news keeps coming. Director/producer Matt Reeves’ corner of the DC Universe—“The Batman”—is still expanding and multiple HBO Max shows, such as Colin Farrell’s “Penguin,” are already in the works.

Zack Sharf SPOILER ALERT: This story references a major reveal that is included in the end-credits scene for “Black Adam.” Much of the weeks leading up to the release of “Black Adam” has been dominated by Dwayne Johnson touting his eponymous comic book character’s future fight against Superman. Johnson has all but confirmed that his “Black Adam” movie will reintroduce Henry Cavill as Superman after he took on the role in films such as “Man of Steal,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League.” But “Black Adam” producer Hiram Garcia recently told CinemaBlend (via Collider) that a Superman vs. Black Adam fight won’t just be defined by just a “one-off” movie.

box office success, and that’s in part due to director Matt Reeves’ script — which he carefully kept under wraps.Star Paul Dano — who played the sinister yet cunning Riddler — admitted how the screenplay was under such tight security that production locked up the document.The 38-year-old actor recently spoke to GQ Hype about the script, noting that DC even had a tracker plugged on the doc.“‘Don’t lose this. Put it in your special binder,’” the Ruby Sparks” star recalled being told by producers.

What’s happening in the DC/Warner Bros. world and the DC Universe? Well, for one, Walter Hamada’s tenure as the head of DC Films is coming to an end after this weekend when “Black Adam” is released.

Zack Sharf Paul Dano has been acting since the early 2000s, but it took playing the Riddler opposite Robert Pattinson in “The Batman” for the world to start noticing the 38-year-old in his every day life. As part of a new GQ cover story, Dano said he now gets recognized in public when he least expects it. One example: When he goes to get the mail. “Like a mailman: ‘Oh, shit!! Riddler!!” the actor said. “When it was said I was going to do that part, I never received that many texts, phone calls, emails,” Dano added later in the interview, noting the production went to extreme lengths to ensure none of Dano’s Riddler production materials would get lost or leaked.

Penguin spin-off series.In a recent interview with ExtraTV, the actor revealed that the new show will pick up a week after the events of The Batman, which saw Gotham City flooded following a terrorist attack plotted by the Riddler.“[The Penguin series] starts about a week after The Batman ends, so Gotham is still somewhat underwater,” said Farrell.He then detailed the very first scene of the series, saying: “I read the first script for the first episode and it opens up with my feet splashing through the water in Falcone’s office. Even just that alone when I read it, I thought, “Oh jeeze!”.“It’s lovely,” he continued.

James Bye appears to have a new Hollywood fan – hit movie maker and director James Gunn. For Strictly Come Dancing’s Movie Week, James and dancer partner Amy Dowden paid homage to Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy. Dressed as frontman Peter Quill, James had an uncanny resemblance to the character’s actor Chris Pratt.

What’s in store for the DC Universe? Well, while Warner Bros. Discovery canceled projects like “Batgirl” and “Wonder Twins,” and many worried about the state of dozens of projects still in development, filmmaker Matt Reeves’ take on the “Batman” universe is still moving forward unbothered.
