By Increasingly there seems to be a push for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” films to be incorporated into James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe, despite both being considered quite separate for the moment.
Plans were announced several years ago for a new Batman feature titled “The Brave and the Bold,” a film that would be within the DCU and entirely separate from Reeves’ films which are in their own universe – giving the filmmaker the freedom to do what he wants.
But with ‘Brave’ seemingly delayed, there’s been questions as to if Gunn would want Reeves’ “The Batman” franchise to integrate with the DCU? In a interview with Josh Horowitz on the Golden Globes red carpet, Reeves was asked about the possibility and it seems he’s open to the idea if it makes sense:
“It really comes down to whether or not it makes sense. What the future brings, I can’t really tell you. I have no idea right now… I don’t know, we’ll have to see where that goes.”
Gunn has previously said multiple times “The Batman” is an Elseworlds franchise and outside of the current DCU continuity. There’s also the issue of Robert Pattinson who potentially has no interest in being part of a larger universe of heroes.
Reeves was also asked about the villain in the film sequel and whether it would be surprising. He says: “I hope so. I think so” and then adds that every now and then he looks up to see the online rumors of villain speculation and whom people are guessing for the movie.
