Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was released last year, introducing audiences to the initial details that would build the DC Comics superhero universe. In 2017, the official first installment featuring the superhero group called Justice League will also be officially released to audiences worldwide.
Previously, to keep audiences engaged, DC released a clear timeline of upcoming films that they planned to launch. According to this schedule, Justice League 2 is set to premiere on June 14, 2019, which is approximately two years after the release of the first Justice League film.
However, according to recent reports from The Hollywood Reporter, DC has decided to delay the release date of Justice League 2 in favor of prioritizing another important film, titled… The Batman.
The Batman is a standalone film featuring the character Batman, portrayed by actor Ben Affleck. Based on the information previously reported, Ben Affleck will not only reprise his role as the lead actor but will also serve as the director for this superhero film.
For audiences, the shift in release schedule may not significantly affect them, but for dedicated fans of the franchise, it highlights the importance of The Batman in the cinematic universe of DC. Thus, our “dark” Batman will likely be showcased in a standalone film even earlier than anticipated.
