While the full plot details for The Batman are still under wraps, the film is set to feature appearances from iconic Batman enemies The Penguin, The Riddler and Catwoman. However, Warner Bros. and DC Films may have larger plans for the Caped Crusader's adversaries.

According to Variety, while there were rumors that the whole film would take place in Arkham Asylum, only a certain number of scenes will feature the infamous institution. Moreover, Warner Bros. and DC Films believe that should The Batman be a hit, some of the Dark Knight's enemies could be the focus of their own spinoff films. Adding to this, select cast members from The Batman and Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) have an option in their contract to appear in both sequels and solo movies.

The idea of a Batman villain gaining their own film is nothing new, as shown by 2004's Catwoman and this year's Joker. However, while Catwoman is widely regarded as one of the worst comic book movies of all time, Joker has proven to be a box office success, even becoming the first R-rated film to reach $1 billion at the global box office.

Directed and co-written by Matt Reeves, The Batman stars Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro and Jayme Lawson. The film arrives June 25, 2021.
