Ahead of The Batman 2‘s release, the Caped Crusader has a handful of new stories featuring his cache of characters on the big and small screen. 2022’s The Batman marks the last time Bruce Wayne starred in a major theatrical release, although it also set up a massive spin-off world that will continue to grow alongside the new DC Universe. Over the next few years, DC will continue to push new adventures for this iconic hero, which will unfold both within and outside of those universes’ continuities.

Warner Bros. has plans for five new Batman and Batman-adjacent movies and TV shows set to be released in theaters and on HBO Max before The Batman – Part II. While DC Studios is still in the early stages of development for other Batman projects (namely, the DCU’s The Brave and the Bold), the character will continue to play a big role in keeping Warner Bros. in the superhero game in the immediate future. 

Developed by DC animation legend Bruce Timm, Batman: Caped Crusader delivers a fresh origin story for the titular hero while pitting him against never-before-seen versions of his iconic villains. Headlined by stars like Hamish Linklater, Christina Ricci, and Diedrich Bader, this show highlights Batman through the lens of a detective noir-style story, set in the 1940s and bringing a period piece centered on DC’s iconic hero.
