Exclusive: Batman 2016 Movie Reboot To Feature Batman As Second Year Hero; Ties Into Justice League Movie

We have some more news to share with you, and this time it is in regards to the reboot of the Batman franchise.

Previously, news came out about the Justice League movie being written by Will Beall, and we were informed that the upcoming Man of Steel movie would be spearheading a new DC shared universe.

With The Dark Knight Rises being the last of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies, Warner Bros. is obviously looking to reboot the Batman franchise.

I’m told that a new Batman movie might be slated for 2016 following the Justice League movie, and it will not be an origin story (like Amazing Spider-Man), but will feature a Batman who is entering his second year as a hero.

The film may also be called “The Batman,” though I can’t be sure on that as the 2004 animated series was of the same title which featured a Batman in his third year.

Also, this new Batman will be part of the same shared DC Universe that features the Justice League movie as well as having Henry Cavill in the role of Superman in Justice League and subsequent sequels to the Man of Steel.

The info comes from our source who has previously provided us information about the Green Lantern movie, The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel.
