While Ben Affleck seems content to remain on the sidelines, future DC plans include multiple Batman movies. However, the first movie set in Gotham within the new DCU won't actually be a Batman-led film, suggesting a broader exploration of the city's characters and storylines. The plan apparently remains the same for Robert Pattinson's take on the Dark Knight.
