What is happening over at WB and their DC Extended Universe (DCEU)?

They’re transitioning from the Zack Snyder universe of movies into something separate but not at the same time? I think.

Looking at the movies recently released along with projects announced for the future it looks like they’re trying to keep certain actors, except Ben Affleck as Batman, while going forward; meanwhile, they might reset the entire universe to allow for the introduction of these new characters such as Black Adam, Blue Beetle, Supergirl, and Batgirl.

It’s so hard to keep track while WB is also doing heavy promotion for Matt Reeve’s ‘The Batman’ starring Robert Pattinson and they also just announced Colin Farrel will reprise his role as The Penguin in a spinoff for HBO Max.

Maybe just add Michael Keaton to each upcoming project to make things gel. Michael Keaton will be the glue for the DCEU going forward…I guess.

Michael Keaton is dusting off his signature cape and cowl for “Batgirl,” the upcoming HBO Max superhero film.

The actor is expected to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman, the character he originated in Tim Burton’s 1989 film. He will star alongside Leslie Grace, who’s playing the lead role.

Though plot details have been kept under wrap, the film centers on the heroine whose real identity is Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham police commissioner Jim Gordon.

As previously announced, J.K. Simmons is returning to portray Jim Gordon after first playing the character in Zack Snyder’s “Justice League.” Brendan Fraser is playing the villainous Firefly, a sociopath with a passion for pyrotechnics.
