      'The Batman' Pushed Back to 2022 Due to 'Dune' Delay

      Warner Bros. is making more adjustments to its slate after moving Denis Villeneuve’s highly-anticipated remake to the Robert Pattinson-starring superhero movie’s old date.
      Oct 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Another day, another movie is getting a new release date due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has slowed down the domestic box office, despite the reopening of a number of theaters across the nation. Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” is the latest potential big blockbuster which is delayed after Warner Bros. earlier announced a new date for “Dune”.
      As expected, the Robert Pattinson-starring superhero movie is now pushed back to 2022 after it was forced to vacate its old date for the highly-anticipated sci-fi remake from director Denis Villeneuve. “The Batman” is now no longer scheduled to open on October 1, 2021, being pushed back five months to March 4, 2022. “Dune” is taking over “The Batman” old date.
      WB has also shifted the dates for other movies, including “The Matrix 4”, which is moved up several months. Initially set for April 1, 2022 release, it is now expected to bow in U.S. theaters on December 22, 2021.
      Ezra Miller’s “The Flash”, meanwhile, is moved to November 4, 2022 to give room to a yet-announced film on June 3, 2022. Another secret project from the studio is set for August 5, 2022 release. As for “Shazam! Fury of the Gods”, it has been pushed back from November 2, 2022 to June 2, 2023.

      Another superhero adventure film “Black Adam”, which is also based on a DC Comics character, and video game adaptation “Minecraft” have been left dealing with major uncertainty as the studio pulled off the two movies from the December 22, 2021 and March 3, 2022 date respectively.
      Other than “Dune”, Warner Bros. says the latest release date shuffle is due to production delays. “The Batman”, for example, suspended production in March after the global pandemic hit the U.K., where it was filmed.
      Shooting on the superhero movie resumed in early September after the British government gave the green light for high-end TV and film productions to resume shooting, as soon as employers put coronavirus safety measures in place.
      However, the production was put on pause again after only three days because the lead star, Pattinson, tested positive for COVID-19. Filming resumed on September 17, after the British actor was cleared to return.

      Robert Pattinson 'Weirdly Enjoys' the Prospect of Messing Up 'The Batman'

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Instead of feeling pressured by the Caped Crusader role, the ‘Twilight’ alum ‘weirdly enjoys’ the possibility of messing up his superhero portrayal in the upcoming DC movie.
      Sep 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Batman” star Robert Pattinson isn’t fazed by the prospect of messing up the role – in fact, he “weirdly enjoys” it.
      The actor is set to debut as the Caped Crusader in the forthcoming 2021 flick and, speaking to Total Film magazine, he admits the idea that he can screw things up strangely excites him.
      “I weirdly enjoyed it during Twilight, the idea that you can mess it up. I guess I felt confident. I wanted to be on the big stage,” Robert shares. “There’s a slightly different feeling when you know loads and loads of people are going to watch something you’re working on.”

      He adds that “The Batman” is “not an origin tale, and you’re meeting him in the early days. And for me, what’s really important about this iteration is that you know a lot of the other stories are about how he had to master his fear and master himself in order to become Batman. And that in that Batman state, he’s sort of in his best self.”
      “I hope what’s different about what we’re doing is try and do it in exactly that sort of manner and then of course the other things that are from the earlier history of the context of him being the world’s greatest detective and how we got there,” he says.
      Production on “The Batman” recently resumed, two weeks after reports emerged that the leading man had tested positive for Covid-19 and the set had been shut down.
      Filming was previously halted for almost six months in March (20) due to the pandemic, with director Matt Reeves revealing he had only shot a quarter of the movie.

      Investigation has reportedly been launched as the production for the Caped Crusader movie comes to a screeching halt after the main actor allegedly tests positive for the killer virus.

      Unconfirmed reports suggest the Caped Crusader himself, Robert Pattinson, is the person who has tested positive for the coronavirus, and while new WarnerMedia Studios & Networks chief Ann Sarnoff insists she cannot talk about individuals linked to the project, she tells Deadline an investigation is underway to find out how health and safety guidelines put in place didn’t keep all employees from getting sick.
      “We’re still in the middle of investigating what is the situation,” she tells the outlet. “We’re pausing temporarily for now until we have more information, but we have all the protocols set up to do contact tracing and hopefully get back up into production very soon.”
      Production on “The Batman” shut down when the pandemic began in March. It started up again earlier this week (beg31Aug20) in Leavesden, England. Director Matt Reeves recently revealed he had completed a quarter of the film, which is scheduled for release in October, 2021.

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Caped Crusader depicter has reportedly been diagnosed with the deadly virus as the production of his comic book superhero movie is forced to close yet again.
      Sep 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Production on “The Batman” has stalled after someone on set tested positive for COVID-19.
      Filming only recently started up again after the coronavirus shutdown and now director Matt Reeves has been forced to close the set in Leavesden, England.
      “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19 and is isolating in accordance with established protocols,” a Warner Bros. spokesman confirms. “Filming is temporarily paused.”
      The powers that be aren’t naming names but Vanity Fair sources claim the film’s leading man, Robert Pattinson, is the individual who is sick.
      The production initially shut down in March (20), when the quarantine lockdown began and it only began again earlier this week (beg31Aug20) with cast and crew observing strict health and safety guidelines.
      During last month’s (Aug20) DCFanDome virtual event, Reeves revealed he had completed a quarter of the movie, but he had enough for a trailer, which he introduced at the online fan convention.
      “The Batman”, starring Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, is currently scheduled to open in theatres in October, 2021.
      A spokesman for the Twilight star has yet to respond to reports he has tested positive for COVID-19.

      '12 Years a Slave' Scribe to Introduce Black Batman in New Comic Series

      by

      DC Comics

      The Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley is working on a new graphic novel series revolving around the head of Wayne Enterprises, Lucius Fox, and his family.
      Aug 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Oscar winner John Ridley is creating a four series comic book that will introduce a black Batman.
      The “12 Years a Slave” screenwriter and producer let the news slip during a virtual chat with DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee during the marathon DC FanDome on Saturday (22Aug20), revealing the series will launch in January (21).
      “I think it’s a pretty safe bet that if I’m writing Batman, it’s probably a little better than a 47 per cent chance he’s going to be a person of colour,” said Ridley.
      Ridley’s limited Batman series will focus on the family of Lucius Fox, the head of Batman Bruce Wayne’s company, Wayne Enterprises.
      “He has a family and this is a family that has secrets… from one another,” Ridley added. “It’s a little bit different dynamic than the Batman that we’ve always seen.”
      Lucius Fox, one of the most prominent black characters in Batman comics, was portrayed by Morgan Freeman in director Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” films. In the comic books, his son, Lucas, is the vigilante Batwing.
      Meanwhile, Jeffrey Wright appeared as the first Commissioner James Gordon of colour in “The Batman” trailer, which closed the DC FanDome event.
      Promoting his new movie, which he confessed is only 30 per cent complete due to the coronavirus shutdown, filmmaker Matt Reeves revealed the upcoming HBO Max Batman series he is working on with”Boardwalk Empire” creator Terence Winter will take place a year before his new “The Batman” film, starring Robert Pattinson, as a “masked vigilante… starts to unsettle the city.”
      “The story is actually a battle for his soul,” Reeves explained.

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The first sneak peek video debuted at the virtual DC FanDome introduces a dark and moody Bruce Wayne who is a far cry from the sleek rich billionaire usually portrayed onscreen.
      Aug 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Director Matt Reeves gave Batman fans a real treat at the end of Saturday’s (22Aug20) DC FanDome virtual event by offering up his latest film’s first trailer.
      Devotees who stuck around to watch all seven hours of the online celebration of all things DC Comics caught sneak peeks and new trailers of upcoming attractions as well as cast panels and insider information.
      The event kicked off with a “Wonder Woman 1984” panel, featuring director Patty Jenkins and her cast, and a new teaser, and ended with Reeves answering fans questions about “The Batman”.
      As his session ended, he revealed he had only completed “25 to 30 per cent” of the film before the coronavirus crisis shut down production, but he still brought something to offer fans.
      The footage featured Robert Pattinson as the new Caped Crusader, Zoe Kravitz as a pre-Catwoman Selina Kyle and Jeffrey Wright, the latest actor to take on the role of Gotham City police boss Jim Gordon.
      There were also images of the new Batmobile and fans got the chance to hear Brit Pattinson’s best Batman voice as he told one group of bad guys, “I’m vengeance,” as they asked for his identity.

      One fan asked Reeves why he chose the “Twilight” star as his Batman, prompting the filmmaker to say, “He has the soul of someone who can play Batman,” while revealing that, like him, the Brit is a big fan of the comic book crimefighter.
      “The Batman” has resumed production in the U.K. and will hit cinemas in 2021.

      'The Batman' Expected to Resume Filming in U.K. in September

      by

      Twitter

      The crew and cast members of the new Caped Crusader movie are expected to return on set in U.K. in September, months after the production was halted due to Covid-19.
      Aug 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robert Pattinson will be back in his superhero cape and cowl next month (Sep20) as production on “The Batman” resumes in the U.K. following the coronavirus shutdown.
      Director Matt Reeves was forced to halt filming in March (20) as the COVID-19 crisis became a pandemic, but with many lockdown restrictions lifted, the cast and crew are preparing to head back to work at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in early September, according to Variety.
      Sources claim Reeves has about three months of footage still to shoot, meaning he could possibly wrap production by the end of the year.
      Studio representatives have declined to comment on the production speculation, but the coronavirus delay had already prompted Warner Bros. officials to push back the blockbuster’s June 2021 release by just over three months.
      It is currently scheduled to hit U.S. theatres on 1 October, 2021.
      “The Batman” will mark Pattinson’s debut as the titular DC Comics superhero, taking over the coveted role from Ben Affleck.
      The movie will also feature Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman and Paul Dano as The Riddler, alongside fellow castmembers Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell.
