There could be a lot more people dressing up as Batman for Halloween next year. Variety has learned that Warner Bros. has delayed its latest take on the Dark Knight, The Batman, from June 25, 2021 to Oct. 1, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans will have to wait three additional months to see just how well Robert Pattinson fits the cowl.



Warner Bros. has also delayed two other DC superhero movies: The Flash and Shazam 2.

I want to be positive toward this as I've nothing against the team behind it but I'm truly sick of all recasts, reboots, re-imagining, re-anything when it comes to Batman. I believe DC/Warner should just commit to some casting and improve their movies instead of restarting after every failed or unloved attempt. Just as we've seen some sequels for other franchises get worse they do also occasionally get better on some occasions. Take Star Trek II(1982) or Empire Strikes Back as examples and I'm sure there's more. They've seriously become worse than FOX when it comes to abandoning projects. The list of abandoned actors or projects would look bigger than a wall of Deadshots kills at this point.
