After Ben Affleck's exit from DCEU, Warner Bros. decided to take the Batman series in a different direction altogether, with their upcoming instalment titled The Batman. American filmmaker Matt Reeves was roped in to direct the film and Pattinson for playing Bruce Wayne.

Like Affleck, there was some backlash received by the makers when Pattinson was roped in, but in general, there's a great level of excitement surrounding The Batman, while plot details of the film are kept under wraps by the makers.

The Batman's production began earlier this year, but its shoot schedule was halted and forced into a lengthy delay due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, back in March.

However, according to the recent reports from several online portals, the highly-anticipated film's shoot will resume in September, and the cast and crew will no longer be shooting on the location. Fans are hoping that this decision will hopefully help makers prevent any further delays and allow the film to hit the silver screens on its new release date.
