Robert Pattinson #TheBatman Will Not Be Part of DCEU
You may have heard news overnight that Michael Keaton is in talks to reprise his Batman role as part of Ezra Miller’s untitled The Flash movie. According to The Wrap this means:
Matt Reeves upcoming “The Batman†will not be affected and Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne is still viewed as the future of the franchise.
The Playlist then went on to say:
Additionally, as you might have already expected, this basically ensures that Matt Reeve’s upcoming “The Batman†is being positioned as a stand-alone “Jokerâ€-esque film, existing in its own universe separate from the DCEU. I.e., Robert Pattison [sic] won’t be seen alongside Ezra Miller, Gal Gadot, and maybe Henry Cavill, etc. This gives Reeves more free-reign to tell his own story and not have to slot it into the existing, already-convoluted DC film continuity. And by allowing for Keaton to mentor Batgirl, this also opens up the chance for Reeves to finally tell the definitive Robin story that has yet to really be explored on film should the film go on to create a trilogy.
