The Batman delay announcement incoming ? (Up: Confirmed, moved to March 2022)
- Thread starter Col.IndianaLongnuts
- Start date
I mean, obviously. They moved Dune to its' current date.
December 2021 makes plenty of sense, though releasing a noir Batman movie over Christmas probably isn't WB's ideal setup.

Batman is dated for October 2021 right? So with Dune being pushed to that date, Batman being delayed is pretty much a given I'd say. I really hope movie theaters survive til then..
The whole year has very clearly been a write off and there will be no consumer or social interaction confidence without mass vaccinations or some kind of cure (there isn't really a "cure" for flu so vaccinations it is).
Its best that everyone assume that anything that can be delayed probably will be. This will be particularly true for any title that was expecting to make up to (and including) a billion or more. This will also have knock on effects as titles won't want to compete with each other too much and hurt their sales potential so expect secondary delays as well.

Zero chance it's cancelled outright. They will finish filming far, far before the release date, finish editing far before the release date, and sit on the film until they feel they can release it profitably. A hybrid release between theaters, HBO Max, and VoD seems like a good idea, but these studio execs are dinosaurs and America is holding the world back in terms of getting over COVID.
Confirmed
Oof. Bummer.
Although if the Flash's June 2022 date holds, that means that we'll be seeing three different Batmen in the span of three months lol
edit: Actually just saw in the article Flash is moving to November. Well, still - three Batman in one year!
It didn't. Flash moves to November. Matrix pushed up to Christmas 2021
My guess is every movie is getting pushed back one full year 2021 will be what 2020 was supposed to be for films, and so on.
Yep. This isn't even taking into consideration that it's very likely that the virus is still out of control next year.
by the time studios feel like releasing new movies, most theaters won't exist anymore. What will they do then?
Sounds good. Assuming vaccines aren't a bust, we should be starting to get really get back to a normal life around then.
Have they started filming again since the rumor that Robert got covid?

Yeah, they put a 2 week hold on principal, but they've been back for like 2.5-ish weeks.

If that happens, streaming services. Netflix recently bought the rights to Woman in the Window. So expect to see that sooner than later.
Yep, they've been casting and filming starts early next year. Though it sounds like it's kind of a dual Black Adam/JSA movie.
My guess is Marvel will at some point take Black Panther 2 off the calendar and move Strange 2 into that May 2022 slot.
There is just no way these giant expensive ass movies that are expected to make a billion dollars at the box office alone could ever survive digitally. So, I don't know what other options there are. We either get back to theaters, or movies of this size are dead.
why the hell didn't they just use that March or December date for Dune? October was perfect for BATMAN.
I feel like this is already all but guaranteed. I think once this is all "over" we will wind up with new movie chains. Maybe Amazon Theaters!
I just don't see how any theaters survive this winter. Same with dine in restaurants.
I legit don't know what's happening with it, so I ask. I kept thinking it was being pushed back even before COVID.
Dope!
They might not feel comfortable having either be a big Christmas movie (neither are exactly family fare) - and Dune has stronger awards potiential than Barman. So Dune gets priority.
It might just not be far enough along? Dune is probably almost done. Matrix 4 resumed filming over the summer, Batman had only restarted last month and then had to stop again for another two weeks.
Those Shazam kids are gonna be real fucking old by the time that sequel happens.
Matrix 4 coming earlier softens the blow, so excited for that. More saddened by Shazam delay, 2023 is so far...
Not getting Shazam 2 until 2023 really bums me out. We all need some light hearted fun nowadays. And man did the Tenet / Mulan combo just cripple US films?
