10 Batman Animated Series Storylines That Would Be Perfect For The Batman 2 & 3

One source of inspiration for The Batman was the iconic Batman: The Animated Series, which may also inspire the storylines of The Batman Part II and even a potential third film. The Batman replaced the canceled Ben Affleck solo Batman movie, and introduced viewers to a new interpretation of the Batman mythos by Matt Reeves, starring Robert Pattinson. The film is not set in the DC Extended Universe and rather than directly bringing the comics themselves to life like Affleck’s iteration, The Batman creates an even more grounded and realistic iteration of the Batman mythos than Christopher Nolan’s beloved Dark Knight Trilogy.
