How The Batman Can Still be Brought into the DCU

After the set photos revealed our first good look at the Superman suit a lot of people kept on posting about how good this version of Superman would look next to Robert Pattinson’s Batman. The contrast between the two is perfect with Superman’s bright colors and superhero costume material and Batman’s dark colors and armor based suit perfectly encapsulating the world’s finest dynamic of two heroes with drastically different approaches to the same goal. In this video, I’ll be looking at how well The world of the Batman can fit into what we know about the DCU and how it would affect things.

No. It would be much better to have Pattinson in his own universe. Reeves is cooking and I don’t want him to be tied down by the continuity of a larger cinematic universe. He’s got his own universe and it’s great that he can have his vision fully realized in his own self contained universe without any studio interference, rather than have to change things around to fit with other movies and shows.

These two universes exist in very different worlds: The Batman is a dark purely realistic portrayal of the iconic caped crusader, while the DCU leans into several different tones but exist in a different world where all these tones can tie together to make a greater whole. To put Patterson's universe in the DCU would be to ruin the depiction both he and Matt Reeves are trying to create, not because of the tone not fitting-but because the worlds THEMSELVES don't fit. Sure, a piece from a different puzzle CAN FIT-but not without taking away from that other puzzle the piece originated from.

This might be crazy, but what if Pattinson gets casted as the DCU Batman while he does his Reevesverse trilogy? Same actor doing two different versions of the exact same character, one a bit older with a son and the other a younger vigilante finding his footing. A kin to James McAvoy playing vastly different Charles Xavier's each movie while they're the same core character. And hell, we've gone through a world where Sean Connery popped up out of nowhere with Never Say Never Again in the midst of Roger Moore and Timothy Darlton. This could be done.

[@talon3684]

I need a fresh Batman. Battinson belongs in DC's Elseworlds division with Joker since he is not part of the DCU. Even Matt Reeves prefers to be separate. My pick is Zane Holtz for the DCU Batman. DCU audiences are more than intelligent enough to understand the two Batmen. Especially when the films would be labeled differently to bring separation.

[@comicfan1324]

This is just my opinion, but regardless, if they keep some of the actors, I think the DCU should just start a clean slate. The suicide squad was a fun film, but it’s too strongly connected to the original DCU for the timeline to work with completely newinterpretations of the league

[@ojmcclanahan689]

I just don't think it works. People forget that movies and comics are quite different in presentation. There's the factor of tone, and the tone of Matt Reeves' Batverse doesn't esthetically fit anything we've seen from the DCU so far. It also doesn't fit from a narrative standpoint. James Gunn has said that Batman would have the Bat Family, so if we're gonna have a Batman with a Bat Family and Damian Wayne as Robin, we gotta have a Bruce Wayne that's at least 41 years old. There's no reason to compromise the history and backstories of beloved characters just for the sake of having a younger actor play Batman.

Your missing a crucial element, some of these heroes have been around for decades(like JSA etc), so Hal Jordan will be in his late 40s and John Stewart will be the main GL for this universe like he was in JLU(hopefully more character development than the comics and they give him a mask)

I think they should retcon The Batman's timeline by setting it in the mid 2010's and have the trilogy be a prequel to the Brave and the Bold. That way it would correlate better with the DCU timeline🤷🏽‍♂️

[@SidKnee_______]

I swear James said tss and peacemaker season 1 wasent gonna be in the new continuity, and he never said the events of blue beetle would have been canon

[@henrygarcia39]

It’s what I would want more superhero movies to be like, separate superhero movies should be ALLOWED to feel different in tone and even genre but still exist in the same universe. Let Blade be an action horror while Guardians is a space opera, Hulk is either a monster movie or psycho drama, and so on and so forth.

[@matthewnuss3053]

Gunn asked Reeves if he was interested in merging the two but reeves didn’t want his story to be held back by having to be shared with other writers projects and Gunn respected that

[@soupermoviecritic8511]

Wait I’m the same age as The Batman? Nice. 👍🏻

[@trexadvent4726]

What all members of the Bat family is Robert Pattinson Batman going to have with him in Matt Reeves Batman movies? Imagine if Iain Armitage played Tim Drake Red Robin there?

[@Silas_Kow]

Nah man, Matt Reves deserve the freedom to wright his script witought the burden to conect to the DCU

[@BatArt-jh1vh]

I think they should keep them separate. The Batman will no doubt be a trilogy so they could have them come out every three or four years stretching out the story plus it would sort of match the tone of The Batman universe. Then have multiple consistent DCU projects releasing in-between, I think this would create a difference between the two universes. DCU being populated with different characters and relapsing constantly like the early MCU did and then The Batman Part 2 and 3 be released every few years.

People are forgetting that Matt Reaves doesn't want to do this it's his universe and James Gunn will respect that but the video was great as always

Are we going to see characters like Robert Pattinson Batman coming to the DCU like something similar to how Vibe had the power to travel between universes in the Arrowverse?

[@hungryalmighty7156]

Here’s another way the Batman could fit into The dcu. The Batman part 1 and 2 are soft canon within the dcu brave and the bold. Example u could have a situation in brave and the bold where Batman is talking to Damian and tells him, “u know I remember 15 years ago I faced the riddler here and he flooded all of Gotham”. Essentially the dcu Batman and the reeves Batman are still different Batman but the dcu Batman still went through similar events that the reeves Batman went through in the Batman part 1 and 2

[@DemBones1306]

I really hope battison is left to do his own thing. You cant reboot a universe while keeping all your favourite things that just feeld cheap. Im personally really to excited to see what James gunn is playing for batman :)

[@ItsDee_]

At the end of the day, I don't want to have to wait 10+ years in order to have the batfamily established and my favourite characters introduced properly in live action.

[@kursedmilk]

They should just focus on other dc superheroes for once and let reeves finish his trilogy, it’s not like we are lacking in batman content.

[@jamesorion8316]

i always said these two should be in the same universe, batman can still be grounded that’s what makes him different and contrast against the fantasy elements

[@cahe6161]

Just let it go man. Personally I think it's about time we get a true comic accurate Batman

[@raichu753siordia2]

The batman trilogy could just be a prequel to the current dcu

[@mineimusprime7004]

It really depends on how good the Braves & the Bold is to me

[@Repp35]

anything that has previously happened such as the suicide squad, blue beetle, and peacemaker are said to be general ideas of what happened, meaning not all of these are 100%

[@DanielFunGuy]

What if they still have the batman part II and Batman the brave and the bold be two separate movies, but they make batman the brave and the bold a movie set in the future.

[@chwayde2295]

While I'd be open to it, it defeats the purpose of restarting the universe. It would just be a headache. Let alone the strain it could put on Pattinson, likely being part of multiple projects while inevitability still carrying the new universe. I'd rather a new fantastical batman & a fun brave & the bold movie. Down the line when they get multiversal, he could come in as a nice treat to the fans.

[@Halracc]

Tanner buchanan would be a perfect Robin and Jacob bertand as Kid flash (Xolo as Blue beetle)

[@JoseNatal-ck7zv]
