Bounding Into Comics is reporting that at New York Comic Con Warner Animation announced a project not tied to the Gunniverse. That should relieve fans concerned that the “Tomorrowverse”, staring from Superman: Man Of Tomorrow onward until the DC Gunniverse started, was over and marked the end of shows not tied to James Gunn’s DC Universe By James Gunn, shows like Creature Commandos. It may not take place in the Tomorrowverse, but the writer of the Superman starter will pen the first movie.
Yes, first. Two movies are planned for this adaptation of “Knightfall”, the story arc where Batman is crippled by Bane and must come up from injury to stop his successor from ruining the symbol of the Bat due to his failure to understand what that symbol means. I have not read most of the comics but I have read a couple and the novelization has been a Chapter By Chapter review (an example of a really long book to review that I actually enjoyed). This is where the author of the linked to article shows concerns. JB Augustine isn’t outright rejecting the adaptation but he does have some trepidation since it’s still modern Warner Brothers and they’ve made a bunch of missteps lately. This includes turning Watchmen (which apparently hasn’t been adapted enough in the past few years with a live-action movie, motion comic, direct-to-video adaptation of the “Tales Of The Black Freighter” in-universe comic, and most recently the about to be mentioned full on animated adaptation) into two movies. Crisis On Infinite Earths was also two movies, but from what little I’ve seen, and I do want to see the whole thing, isn’t actually an adaptation.
Personally I’d rather see three movies for “Knighfall”. Sound silly? Let’s address Augustine’s concerns and maybe point out a few of my own, as well as how I’d want to see this adaptation go.

(The Grand Comics Database says PAM, the pen name of Peter Morisi, but it looks like three I’s or possible ls or even 1s depending on the font. Either way, in the letters page the editor insists they aren’t the same person when someone compliments Morisi instead of PAM.)

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter (or possibly multiple chapters for this one) of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
I still can’t believe I’ve been reading this book for around a year’s time.
Granted 2025 has had it’s share of distractions and lost time, but this is not a book meant to be read a chapter or two a week, clearly. Usually, however, not realizing how long it’s been is a good sign because the book is so good you lose yourself in it and the passage of time. For me, this has not been that book…and somehow a year still feels too long. All the unnecessary padding really has dragged this thing down, but I’ll save that for Sunday’s book report over at The Clutter Reports.
Last time was the aftermath, so I’m guessing these last two really short chapters are the epilogue. So, let’s get to it and get this book finally over with.

I wonder if he’ll ever do a follow-up with the original comics Ultron? He’s got to have a few dumb ideas. Some of them were in the movie.
