Robert Pattinson's Batman Could Be DCU, Says James Gunn
James Gunn said he "contemplated" bringing Robert Pattinson's Batman into the new DCU. But Matt Reeves says the idea has to make sense first.

I just don't see this happening.
The DCU, based solely on the Superman trailer but I'll include Creature Commandos is a weird unrealistic place. Matt Reeves Batman is a serious realistic place.
You could have a world where Batman describes his youth, and in that world he describes events similar to Matt Reeves Batman. A world where he first fought against the Joker, then later Riddler, then met up with Catwoman, and how he tangled with Carmine Falcon and The Penguin. That's possible. But we've got to live in a world where Harley Quinn is mostly canon and coming from the Joker we met in Matt Reeves Batman it just isn't likely. That Joker has to change, A LOT, or we need a second Joker (terrible Folie Duex callback).
The Earth Superman lives on is FAAAAAAAAR removed from the Earth Matt Reeves Batman lives on. Maybe there is a crazy event that occurs, but it's not worth trying to force them together.
Zaslav is trying to force it. Because he's an idiot with a goldfish memory who doesn't remember that last time the company tried to rush their shared universe to catch up it was a fucking disaster.
"You see, we actually don't have enough content to call anything we're doing a 'universe', so we're just being desperate and considering cannibalizing the only good content we have." James Gunn
Just DC doing the same shit they do every time they try to launch a whole "universe". Now their constant reboots has put them 18 years behind Marvel, and they'll never make that gap up.
Hmmm.... Do I want to watch David Corenswet and Robert Pattinson snog? I'll have to ponder this.
David Coren's wet and Robert's Pattin' some
DCU is fucked. They have no clue.
