- The Batman Part II has been delayed a full year to October 2027, while the DCU's Batman movie The Brave and the Bold has paused development, but the Caped Crusader is expected to appear in other upcoming DCU projects like Creature Commandos and Lanterns.
- The DCU is avoiding origin stories for flagship heroes like Batman and Superman, opting to reintroduce them in more surprising ways, potentially by having the Dark Knight make background appearances before taking center stage in future films.
