  • Director Matt Reeves remains attached to The Batman Part II, set for release on February 18, 2028, which operates separately from the DCU under the Elseworlds banner.

  • With Latcham taking over on December 1, the status of both Gunn's planned Man of Tomorrow and Reeves' trilogy remains unclear as the studio reorganizes its slate.
