In a Variety report about the future of the DCU, a possibility that Matt Reeves may not complete his trilogy after The Batman: Part II was brought up. 

According to the report, it's still unknown whether Reeves' plans remain a trilogy, now that James Gunn is no longer involved with the DCU. It's worth remembering that both Gunn and Peter Safran gave the director considerable creative freedom, including allowing several delays to the film.

At this time, it is unknown what the plans are for the new DC universe and how things will fit together under the leadership of Jeremy Latchman, the new head of the studio.

It's also worth remembering that Robert Pattinson was among the names considered to take on the role of the new James Bond, which could have made filming a third movie difficult, as the actor's schedule would have been very busy.
