2024 Has Been A Perfect Year To Be A Batman Fan, Despite Having No Live-Action Movie With The DC Hero
Batman is one of the most popular superheroes in the DC Universe and, despite not receiving a live-action film, the character had many incredible appearances throughout 2024. Batman is beloved as a brilliant, rich martial artist with incredible dedication to his city and his craft. After a series of live-action Batman performances in the past, it appears that even more are ahead. Updates on The Batman Part II confirm it is scheduled for 2026, with another iteration in The Brave and the Bold to follow sometime in the years that follow.
With confirmation of a Clayface movie at DC Studios, more and more iterations of Batman and his villains appear to be ahead. While Joker: Folie à Deux did not live up to all expectations, it is incredible to see so much ancillary Batman content being made. While Batman is the heart of his own franchise, the roster of characters that he has introduced is so large and compelling that further spinoffs of his world will surely follow. Another spinoff even wound up being one of the best shows of 2024.
The Penguin Showed The Potential Of Batman's World To Its Fullest The HBO Series Expanded Matt Reeves' World Close Perhaps the best show of 2024, The Penguin had subtle details and big implications for the world of Gotham City when it was released earlier this year on HBO. Colin Farrell gave a career-best performance as Oz Cobb, and the series delved much deeper into the world of crime that was first set up in The Batman. Many even believe the new show, which saw Oz"s ascent in the city"s organized crime, was even better than The Batman.
With hopes of a Penguin season 2, the world may grow even larger. With a cast of exceptional characters that included Vic, who did not survive the show, and Sofia Gigante, who did, the impact of these characters and the events they were involved in could help shape the future of Gotham City. Interesting changes to the dynamics of crime in the city have been made clear, and now many hope to see Batman take down the Penguin in an upcoming sequel.
