Indeed, in a recent interview with Empire, the filmmaker shared his desire to make a film Batman In the coming years :
I’ve always loved Batman. If I saw the Batsignal lighting up the sky, I would come running. If I heard The Shadow’s deep laugh rise from the shadows, I’d take a chance too. As well as Spider-Man, of course, who came before Doctor Strange, and who I don’t want to erase from my list.
