The DCU Wonder Woman movie and Matt Reeves’ The Batman 2 have both received exciting updates.

James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU is alive and well at Warner Bros. Pictures following the release of Superman. After that, the DCU continues next month with Peacemaker Season 2, while Supergirl and Clayface are both due to arrive in 2026.

Meanwhile, Reeves is crafting his own shared DC Universe, The Batman Epic Crime Saga, which stars Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight. The sequel to The Batman is currently expected to arrive in 2027.

What are the updates on Wonder Woman and The Batman 2?

According to Variety, Warner Bros. is “fast-tracking” the DCU Wonder Woman movie rather than focusing on a sequel to Superman. The studio declined to comment for Variety’s article, and no other information is available at this time.

As for The Batman 2, Warner Bros. is reportedly “thrilled” with the script that was recently turned in. This is good news for fans of the first movie, as this means major rewrites will likely not be necessary, and the film can continue on its current production plan, meaning there shouldn’t be any more shifting release dates anytime soon.

There’s also the matter of when Batman will be formally introduced into the live-action DCU, as the character made a brief, non-speaking cameo in the animated Creature Commandos series. Gunn has repeatedly said that Pattinson probably won’t be the DCU’s Batman and the two universes won’t crossover; there’s also a The Brave and the Bold movie starring Batman that is part of the DCU in the works from director Andy Muschietti.

There hasn’t been much news about The Brave and the Bold in quite some time, however, leading fans to wonder what Bruce Wayne’s role within the DCU will actually look like and if they’ll have to wait until after The Batman 2 for him to show up.

The Batman 2 currently has an October 1, 2027, release date. Wonder Woman does not have a release date at this time; however, if it is being “fast-tracked,” fans hopefully won’t have to wait too long for some concrete pre-production news.
