Yes and no simultaneously, if Matt Reeves has it his way, I’d be ok with that elseworld idea. If he did decide to fold his Batman/Penguin into James Gunn mainline DCU it would help with the fan hype and critical and commercial success of this new burgeoning DCU
Idk why they're working on another new Batman universe when we're already attached to Battinson's universe. Simply put him in the DCU. The Batman is in no way grounded, he literally took an explosion to the face with no injuries and bullets as if he were a tank 😅
Gunn is doing the exact thing he said he was going to avoid, which was multiple continuities existing at the same time causing division amongst DC fans. By letting The Batman continue and have spin-offs, DC will have 2 separate universes for people to choose a favorite. Elseworlds can only work as standalone stories that are clearly not the main version of the character like Red Son or Gotham by Gaslight. The Batman is way too similar to regular Batman
Even though I personally think it can work with the Batman and it’s very possible im extremely bias because I love that universe but you make a very valid point. 2 separate continuities does make it far more difficult then making a Gotham by gaslight or Superman red son which are so clearly different that it’s much easier to differentiate. More reason why the Batman being the DCU could make more sense or possibly just going with Brave and the bold
Terrible take. The Batman is all dc really has going for it for them to throw it away in favor of Gunn using a Damien Wayne iteration of robin is CRAZY. Literally nobody will like that version of Batman off the sole choice of robin alone
Imo they should just keep it different, have robert Pattisons be young, gritty and realistic have DCU being old, fantastical and hopeful. Make each villain to each movie crazy, like Hugo Strange with an army of monsters or the Gotham City Sirens, etc.
I do think this is the most likely scenario. Especially if you keep robs batman on his own and surround the DCU Batman with the batfamily. It’ll be easy for audiences to differentiate them and it would allow for you to make movies that are drastically different from each other
I have not seen any confirmation either way. My personal assumption is elseworld but it definitely could be in the DCU. Sadly we probably are gonna have to wait a year or 2 before we hear anything about the movie due to its 2028 release date
@ I thought this was like the other animated movies where they’re just standalone films or are part of their own timelines (like Justice League: DOOM, The Dark Knight Returns, etc.)
Definitely will take as many Batman films as Matt is willing to make. The DCU still does have to get off the ground as well. I am super excited for Superman and have all the faith in the world of James Gunns vision for DC, but we still have to see how Superman does. If it fails the future of DC gets very blurry and it’s very possible the DCU could be short lived. I don’t think that’ll be the case but still a possibility
Just so you know someone asked Gunn about it & the dude basically answered his own question as Gunn responded saying Reeves has a script basically done & ready to go just making some final tweaks before they get greenlit & ready to go. The Batman 2 is probaby sticking on it's date & Clayface gets moved.
I would love if that's that case, but we will have to wait and see. Clayface is set to begin filming before for the batman and is gonna be a much smaller production. Announcing clayface just to delay it a few months later makes absolutely no sense. Additionally I hope Clayface keeps its september spot. It is usually a pretty dead month release wise and I think it would give it a better chance to succeed, plus it a good time of year for horror
@ who knows honestly I’m just glad the DCU is off to a great start & is only going to get better starting with Superman & on & the Reevesverse might be the best superhero/comic verse ever if executed right the rest of the way cause right now it has 2 perfect 10’s
Yep exactly. Can’t remember a time where it was so exciting to be a DC fan. So excited for Thursday and the first Superman trailer as well as a new episode of creature commandos!
Would you like to see Robert Pattinson's Batman in the DCU?
Yes and no simultaneously, if Matt Reeves has it his way, I’d be ok with that elseworld idea.
If he did decide to fold his Batman/Penguin into James Gunn mainline DCU it would help with the fan hype and critical and commercial success of this new burgeoning DCU
I think they should simply merge.
Would definitely make things less confusing for general audiences and give you a better chance of success in my opinion!

lol very good point, he is a bit of a tank in the film. I’d personally love to see it if it happens

@@Gandalfthegoldenbird I’m done with realistic Batman

Is Dynamic Duo going to be canon to the new DCU or is it going to be part of Elsworlds?

I want the Batman 2 and I want 3 and 4 idc about dcu
