Future
In March 2011, Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov stated that the next Batman film will be a reinvention, produced by Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas. However, Thomas and Nolan decided to move on to other projects, finding another film too episodic. Speaking to SFX, Thomas stated "The great thing about a trilogy is that it feels like you’ve got a beginning, a middle and an end. It’s like an extended version of a regular film. I just can’t see him getting excited about making another film where basically you’re just wheeling in different villains." There have been reports that the next Batman reboot will be made after the Justice League movie and therefore the character will be introduced in the Justice League film instead of a solo film, and would most likely become part of the "DC Cinematic Universe". However, in March 2013, rumored reports had surfaced stating that Christopher Nolan was put in charge of all characters and films in the DCU, continuing to say that he and Zack Snyder (director of Man of Steel) would produce a Justice League movie, with the latter also in consideration to direct. With these reports, it was also stated that Christian Bale would reprise his role as Batman, himself stating that he would do another film if Nolan was attached. In 2013's Man of Steel, produced by Christopher Nolan, the existence of Wayne Enterprises is established in the newly christened DC cinematic universe, setting up for a future Justice League film and potential Batman reboot.
It has been argued that the ending of The Dark Knight Rises, in which the character of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, John Blake, inherits the Batcave presents the possibility of a spin-off. However, Gordon-Levitt later revealed that The Dark Knight Rises is truly the conclusion of Nolan's Batman series. Anne Hathaway has said that she is interested in reprising her role as Selina Kyle; the actress admitted that she would embrace a solo Catwoman movie if Nolan were involved in the project.
On June 13, 2013, A source from Warner Bros told The Wrap that they're discussing the possibilities with mention of more Man of Steel movies as well as a Superman/Batman film, Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Goyer revaeled there will be a new Batman for Justice League.
In The Lego Movie (to be released February 2014), directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, stars Will Arnett as Batman.
