DC fans were rocked last week with Warner Bros canceling Batgirl. With this decision, should we fear the upcoming Batman trilogy?
This is news that no one expected, especially fans of the DC universe. After disastrous test screenings, Warner Bros decided to simply cancel the release of Batgirl. The film should be offered for streaming on HBO Max.
This announcement, which is a real blow to the entire film crew, has upset many people. Even Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige has thrown his support behind directors Adil El Arbi and Bilal Fallah.
Since then, speculation has been rife about Warner Bros.’s plans for DC, with studio head David Zaslav speaking out on the matter.
“After looking at the data, our conclusion is that premium live-action movies aren’t what people are consuming on their platform. Are they really subscribing to a streaming service for that? How do we evolve that strategy over time?”he asked.
“There’s no comparison to what happens when you release a movie in theaters. So the idea of making expensive movies that go straight to streaming… I don’t see any economic justification for that. So we’re making a strategic shift.”He justified.
“Look at Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, these are brands that are known all over the world. Being able to expand their world through their stories is a unique opportunity for us.
We started from scratch to restructure the entire business. The dedicated team will now focus on the overall 10-year DC plan.
The goal is to develop the DC brand, to develop the characters. And at the same time, our job is to protect the DC brand, and that’s what we’re going to do.Then Davit Zaslav calmed him down.
After this drastic decision by Warner and the renewal, fans were still worried about the Batman trilogy starring Robert Pattinson. We know that the second episode is already in development, but the third part has not been purchased or officially announced yet.
According to journalists Eric Davis (Fandango) and Umberto Gonzalez (The Wrap), the Batman trilogy is nothing to worry about. According to them, DC is going to honor Matt Reeves’ vision and let him finish his trilogy on the big screen.
Indeed, the first part was a huge success, grossing $770 million worldwide on a $200 million budget. In France, the film is one of the biggest successes of the year with 3 million admissions.
In addition, Robert Pattinson’s performance as the Dark Knight convinced critics and many detractors. There’s no reason why Warner Bros. shouldn’t continue this momentum by giving away the Golden Egg Bat.
So fans can rest assured that, aside from the industrial accident of the second episode, Matt Reeves will make his Batman trilogy into a movie.
Additionally, these announcements come after Joker 2 has been given a release date of October 2, 2024. Meanwhile, the next DC movie to hit theaters will be Black Adam on October 19.
