## Key points

- The DCU Batman film’s direction is uncertain.
- The article favours a more fantastical take.
- Suggested comics include stories about Damian Wayne and Ra’s al Ghul.

## Summary

The article argues that the DCU’s first Batman film should draw on a range of comics and give the character a more superheroic, fantastical setting than the grounded approach of *The Batman*. It says the project’s direction is uncertain following reported changes at DC Studios, so the comics offer possible ways to shape a distinctive Gotham and Batman.

Suggested examples include *Batman: Reptilian*, a six-issue mystery involving a monster targeting Gotham’s criminal underworld, and *The Black Mirror*, which reworks Commissioner Gordon’s family history. The article also points to *Batman and Robin* for Damian Wayne and the Bat-Family, and *Birth of the Demon* for Ra’s al Ghul’s origins and mystical connections.
