Following the underperformance of some of its major films, the DC Extended Universe has undergone various adjustments, including giving certain superheroes their own films, continuing the adventures of already existing characters, and detaching others from the DCEU, like with Batman. The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, portrays a younger Bruce Wayne on his second year of crime-fighting in Gotham and delves into his investigative side, which is generally overlooked in Batman films.
The Batman is one of the most awaited films of 2022, but it is far from the only one from DC and Warner Bros. There is a slew of additional projects in the works, both inside the DCEU and outside of it, that will further extend this already expansive universe of heroes. The following is a list of all 19 DC films that will be released after The Batman.
