As preposterous as it sounds, there were genuine concerns that Warner Bros. Discovery could end up abandoning Matt Reeves’ The Batman universe entirely, with new CEO David Zaslav tearing apart the upcoming schedule on both the big and small screen in an effort to shave billions off the balance sheet.

In the end, fans were able to breathe a huge sigh of relief when the director signed an exclusive first-look deal with the company, with a second standalone adventure for Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight at the top of the agenda. We live in a society where every major comic book adaptation is expected to earn a billion dollars, so there were some decrying The Batman for topping out at $770 million.
