With "The Dark Knight Rises" marking the end of the Christopher Nolan trilogy, fans have wondered what is next for the Batman film franchise.

Today, Batman-On-Film reports that the upcoming Justice League movie might be the launching pad for the Dark Knight to be rebooted prior to another series of solo films. Here's an excerpt from the article:

It’s looking as a live-action JUSTICE LEAGUE film -- the one currently being penned by Will Beall for Warner Bros. -- just might be the studio’s first big, DC Comics-based tent pole movie after 2013’s MAN OF STEEL. This JL film would, possibly, hit theaters Summer 2015. So, exactly WHAT does this have to do with BATMAN REBOOTED? Read on...

Said reboot will come after the JL film, not before. Therefore, the new cinematic Batman will be introduced in the JL film as opposed to a solo film. This would, according to my industry "FOBOF," (Friend of Batman-On-Film) assure the new Batman film series will be part of a "DC Cinematic Universe."

The article goes on to state that this latest news "is based on industry scuttlebutt" so it should be taken as strictly rumor for now until such time that an official announcement is made by Warner Bros.

A script for "Justice League" is currently being penned by "Gangster Squad" scribe, Will Beale with an anticipated release date in 2014 or 2015.
