Will the Batman movie lead into a trilogy?

Once press for “War for the Planet of the Apes” wraps up in the next week or so, Matt Reeves will be dedicating his full attention on the DC Extended Universe's Batman movie. With nearly 80 years of comic book history, there's more than enough material to sustain the Dark Knight across numerous movies, and given the character's cinematic history, one wouldn't be jumping the gun assuming that this won't be his only DCEU standalone tale. While Reeves has given some thought about what could happen in sequels, for now he's focusing on telling just one good Batman story as opposed to plotting out an entire trilogy. He explained: “I have ideas about an arc, but really, the important thing is just to start... you have to start with one. You know, you have to start with a story that begins something.”

The only specific plot information that has been revealed about the Batman movie is that it will see the eponymous protagonist battling Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke, although since Matt Reeves is reportedly re-writing the script, it's unclear if the orange and black-garbed assassin will still appear. Reeves has also expressed interest in telling a “noir-driven, detective” story that shows the audience what's going on in his head and heart.

The Batman movie still doesn't have a release date assigned yet.
