As DC's most popular superhero, all eyes are on Batman when it comes to DC's slate of projects. That includes two live-action movies for the hero: Robert Pattinson's The Batman - Part II, which just paused production as director Matt Reeves had to take a leave for personal reasons, and the DCU Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold, which has yet to cast its star. Before both of those is the Batman villain movie Clayface, which will be released in theaters on October 23, serving as the DCU Chapter One's next release. That said, another Batman villain movie is also being developed. According to a new report from Deadline, DC Studios' Bane and Deathstroke movie is called Savage Hunters, standing among multiple DC projects in early development. No further details were shared about the project or what that title might entail. Savage Hunters stands alongside The Brave and the Bold, the DCU's Teen Titans movie, the announced Wonder Woman reboot, and James Mangold's Swamp Thing as the titles the DCU has in early development, as per Deadline. Another upcoming DC movie, Keanu Reeves' Constantine 2, was put in the separate "Development" category. The Constantine sequel is an Elseworlds project outside DCU canon. More to come...
