DC fans can light the Bat-Signal on Google thanks to a new Easter egg that's perfectly timed for the release of The Batman. 2022 is shaping up to be a pretty massive year for DC's most iconic hero. Next week, Warner Bros. will release The Batman, a gritty new take on a Bruce Wayne in his second year of being Gotham's vigilante. Robert Pattinson plays Bruce for the film, and he's joined by a slew of other iconic DC characters. Based on the early box office projections, The Batman could score the biggest opening for the character yet.
That alone would be pretty exciting for Batman fans, but the year's content doesn't end there. In November, the long-awaited DCEU film The Flash will feature not one, but two different iterations of the character. Both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck will suit up as Bruce Wayne for The Flash, which is said to dip its toes into the DC multiverse in a big way. Keaton will then appear in Batgirl, while Affleck's future as Batman remains as murky as ever.
