First Footage for ‘The Batman’ Reportedly Showing at DC FanDome
By George Robbins
The DC Extended Universe, or DCEU, has a number of films involved in it nowadays, but one of the newest films involving one of DC’s most iconic characters is not going to be a part of it. Every live-action DC related film that has released since ‘Man of Steel’ has been a part of the DCEU and has contributed to its roster. Despite what people may think about the individual movies, the DCEU as a whole has become very successful. While many of the films have not been seen with favorable eyes, they still bring in a lot of money from fans of the characters. This is what has kept them all going and allows for more films to be made. We will not be seeing the next entry that involves Batman being a part of that shared universe.
Although Batman has been a part of the DCEU since the second film in that universe released, he is not slated to make a return any time soon. The upcoming movie ‘The Batman‘ has already been stated to be a standalone film that will feature the titular hero as well as some iconic ‘Batman’ villains. So far the development for the movie has seen rough times due to the pandemic and they have only just recently been able to start working on the film again. Though they only just started again, many are apparently excited to return to work on the movie. The script for the film has been talked about excitedly by the actors that are going to appear in the film and it is one that they apparently believe will make DC fans happy.
Although filming for ‘The Batman’ had started in England, the remainder of all of the rest of the film will not be shot on location anymore. Despite this they have been putting a lot of effort into getting the movie done by handcrafting all of the set pieces they need in order to film the rest of the movie. Although they had to stop filming for a lengthy period of time, they still plan to have the movie out by October of next year. This is only a little bit longer from when they originally wanted to show the film. Although we have had the chance to see many set photos for the film, we have not seen any kind of footage in the form of a trailer. This has made it difficult to gauge how people will feel about the standalone film. Apparently, they will have something to show at the upcoming virtual convention DC FanDome.
The DC FanDome event is a virtual convention that is akin to other virtual conventions that we have seen thus far. It will allow people to see panels and things like merchandise from the safety of their own homes and they can see what is going on with all things DC. Reportedly, among the things that will be shown off will be some kind of footage from the upcoming movie ‘The Batman.’ This will give fans and the general public alike a chance to see just what the movie is about and it will offer an opportunity for people to see just how the character will be portrayed. This footage could even get people more excited about going to see the film next year in October.
