With 33-year-old Robert Pattinson in the role of Batman, this is going to take the Caped Crusader back to his younger days under the cowl. As a result, this could be a less experienced Batman protecting the streets of Gotham City. That makes Batman: Year One an obvious choice.
This story shows Bruce Wayne returning to Gotham City after a long absence and starting his new role as Batman. It also paralleled Jim Gordon's return to Gotham as a detective and his rise to the police commissioner of the corrupt city. Jeffrey Wright will play Commissioner Gordon in The Batman. - cbr.com

Jeff Lemire took on the writing chores of Moon Knight during Marvel's "All-New, All-Different" reboot in 2016, and the result was a fascinating spiral through the fractured psyche of the former Avenger. The opening arc, "Lunatic" appears in issues #1-5 (with art by Greg Smallwood), and is told through an unreliable narrator that questions whether Marc Spector is really Moon Knight.
Lemire hit his stride in the following arc, which is arguably one of the best Moon Knight stories ever written. "Reincarnations," from issues #6-9 (featuring art by Wilfredo Torres, Francesco Francavilla, and James Stokoe) takes a deeper dive into the different personas that comprise the vigilante, and the art actually changes to reflect the differences between how each personality views the world. By the end of the arc, there is a strong understanding of just troubled Spector is mentally and how those troubles affect his attempts at being a hero. - cbr.com

The most modern storyline for Morbius comes in the form of the 2019 series, Morbius #1-5. The series saw Michael Morbius get closer than ever to finding a cure for his unique form of vampirism. The Noble-Prize winning biologist found the keys to a cure for his condition, yet not without a price.
The dangers faced in the series were unimaginable, and threatened to destroy the peaceful world Morbius was working so hard to achieve. Yet his desperation to cure the bloodlust inside himself led to him forging ahead, something that will most likely play out in the later half of the upcoming film. - cbr.com

One of the most anticipated storylines that fans have been waiting to see on the big screen is House of M, though there have been a number of hurdles to its adaptation, at least, until recently. The storyline teams the X-Men with the Avengers as they decide what to do with Wanda following her heel turn in the Avengers: Disassembled storyline.
Wanda uses her abilities to create an alternate reality known as the House of M, where the heroes all experience different lives with a mutant ruling class. The Multiverse of Madness title could be more literal than originally thought if Doctor Strange is forced to explore Wanda's broken psyche as she creates alternate realities like the House of M. - cbr.com

Criminal scientist Jonas Harrow pitched a patent to a Stark subsidiary.

The most obvious place to start to learn about the first Muslim superhero to headline her own title is at the beginning. Ms.Marvel got her own book in 2014, co-created by Sana Amanat, G. Willow Wilson, and Adrian Alphona. "No Normal" covers how Kamala gets her powers, her identity as an Inhuman, and who she is before getting powers. "No Normal" was incredibly well received by fans and critics alike and won the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story in 2015. The first season of the show is sure to deal with her origins and cover some similar ground to her comics origin. - cbr.com

Unworthy Thor is a great companion piece to Jane Foster's run as the Mighty Thor and might play a role in Love and Thunder's story. - cbr.com
