One of the big rumors that has sparked among DC fans concerns whether Robert PattinsonBatman may find his way James Gunn AND Pietro Safranit’s the revamped DCU.
The director of Batman Matt Reeves now he’s weighed in on the rumors by offering insight into his vision for the Dark Knight.
Reeves is currently focused on his highly anticipated sequel, Batman Part 2. The film recently saw its release date pushed to October 2027, sparking fan theories that the delay could mean there’s a potential integration of Pattinson’s menacing Caped Crusader into the wider DCU.
As of now, Gunn has confirmed that Pattinson’s Batman and the DCU’s Batman are separate. We simply don’t know who will play Batman in the MCU. But he said he has “contemplated” the idea.
Regardless, while speaking with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Reeves was asked directly about Pattinson’s possible crossover in the DCU. While he neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, Reeves emphasized his commitment to telling the story he originally envisioned.
Reeves said: “It really comes down to whether or not it makes sense. The great thing is that there was really one type of story I wanted to tell: we’ll call it ” Epic crime saga and everything else, which is the essence of what we want to do.
“It was important for me to be able to put it into practice. James and Peter have been really, really great about this, they’re letting us do this.
Reeves has made it clear that his current focus is solely on creating a great sequel. He continued:
“What the future brings, I can’t really tell you. I have no idea right now, except that my head is down, now, on how to get Batman Part 2 turn it around and make it something really, really special, which, of course, is the most important thing.
When Gunn was asked about this, he previously said: “I contemplate and talk about everything. I am committed to both telling stories in the DCU and telling Elseworlds stories. I want the freedom to tell Elseworlds stories.”
Whether Pattinson’s iteration of the Dark Knight will ever meet Gunn’s DCU, we’ll just have to wait and see. But it really doesn’t make sense to combine the two very different DC worlds.
Batman: Part II the release is currently scheduled for October 1, 2027.
