This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Robert Pattinson"s Batman joining the new DC Universe has been considered. The actor is set to lead at least a trilogy in director Matt Reeves" The Batman universe, which is an Elseworlds story separate from the DCU. Pattinson"s full focus at the moment when it comes to DC rests on The Batman - Part II"s story, with Reeves currently writing the film"s script. Gunn and Reeves previously commented on the possibility that Pattinson"s Bruce Wayne could be folded into the DCU, and while that was shot down then, Gunn has a more interesting answer now, though still in line.
On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, James Gunn revealed that he contemplated having Robert Pattinson"s Batman in the DCU and explained his thoughts about Elseworlds stories.
DC has multiple Elseworlds projects in different stages, with recent ones including Joker: Folie à Deux and Superman & Lois. The Batman universe is part of that banner, as it seems like Gunn and Reeves remain sure that Pattinson"s Bruce Wayne will be separate from David Corenswet"s Superman and other DC heroes, though the DCU"s creative chief did consider a different direction. Gunn thinks that doing both DCU and Elseworlds projects is exciting. Check out the full quote below:

"I"ve contemplated it, yeah. I contemplate everything. I talk about everything... I"d be an idiot not to think of how can this go or how can this go, but I"m committed to both telling stories in the DCU and telling Elseworlds stories."
