Matt Reeves' prospective The Batman trilogy is undoubtedly the current focus, but DC should be looking to the HBO brand when the next reboot needs a new angle.
Matt Reeves’ recent Dark Knight venture is the third major live-action rendition of the character in the last 10 years, and while it seems like a lot to already be thinking about what comes after The Batman movies, Warner Bros. Discovery and DC could do well to look to TV for the next take’s future.
At the same time, it’s also reasonable to see why audiences and longtime fans see a lot of potential being left on the table. Warner and DC do like to dance around the concept of Batman on TV by airing a slew of solid-to-mediocre Gotham-centric series that sure enough mention his existence — or depict him in a cameo-level role. Meanwhile, solo outings are reserved for the occasional animated series.
Movies wouldn’t have to necessarily stop in the meantime either, as the DC Extended Universe — assuming it ever finds its footing — could have its own live-action Batman in a supporting role while also venturing into Spider-Verse-esque animated movies with, say, Batman Beyond on the side. Even so, what a live-action Batman TV series either as an HBO or HBO Max original offers a unique opportunity that the likes of The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures already have an outline for.
What creators Paul Dini and Bruce Timm did for the DC Animated Universe, in general, was a fantastic effort in and of itself, and it’s baffling that Warner didn’t use that as a blueprint for its DCEU. Timm and Reeves are among the producers for the aforementioned Caped Crusader aiming to recreate that magic in animation, and it would be remiss if the company’s higher-ups aren’t at least mulling over the idea.
