Matt Reeves’ The Batman must be a brand new daybreak for the character. It’s been nearly a decade because the final Batman solo film and Robert Pattinson’s tackle the Darkish Knight seems to take some attention-grabbing departures from earlier movies that includes the hero. However sadly, you’re going to have wait a bit longer to see it.
Like all main productions presently filming, The Batman has needed to put its shoot on hiatus because of the Coronavirus pandemic. As such, it’s deserted its June 25th, 2021 launch in favor of October 1st, 2021 – similar to we advised you it will a number of weeks again, after we reported that WB was planning to delay it.
The pic is being shot in Pinewood Studios and on location in the UK, which has been on lockdown for a month now. We’re not out of the woods but, both, as there’s simply been affirmation that restrictions on motion there’ll stay in place for an additional three weeks at minimal. So, even in one of the best case situation, The Batman may have misplaced two months of manufacturing time. As what’ll be the launch title for a brand new Bat-franchise, they should nail this film and so, have (accurately) determined to not rush it.

In fact, Warner Bros. gained’t have arrived at this determination calmly. The final weekend in June is without doubt one of the most sought-after launch dates within the calendar, with studios rigorously arranging their releases to keep away from main conflicts. The Batman not premiering till October signifies that it’ll come out at a time typically thought of to be a little bit of a quiet patch for Hollywood, often reserved for horror titles launched within the run-up to Halloween.
The Batman isn’t the one DCEU film to have had its launch date reshuffled, both. The Flash will now hit cinemas on June third, 2022, whereas Shazam! 2 gained’t land till November 4th, 2022. All of which signifies that we’re going to be feeling the influence of COVID-19 on the field workplace lengthy after the virus itself has change into historical past (hopefully). So, whereas 2020 would possibly see historic field workplace lows, don’t count on 2021 to be a bumper yr to compensate.
