Pattinson's Batman Excluded From DCU Future
25 Sep
Summary
- Robert Pattinson's Batman won't fit into James Gunn's DCU.
- Sequels for The Batman and Superman are in development.
- The Batman Part II release date is set for February 2028.
Robert Pattinson has indicated that his version of Batman, as portrayed in Matt Reeves' franchise, is unlikely to join James Gunn's new DC Universe. Pattinson stated it would be "tough" to incorporate his Bruce Wayne into Gunn's established DCU, which has already launched with a new Superman. He cited the immersive and specific tone of Reeves' films as a factor making crossovers difficult.
The actor described how the demanding nature of playing Batman, involving prolonged periods in darkness, can significantly affect an actor's mood and perception. He recalled that this intense immersion took time to shake off after previous projects.
Meanwhile, production on 'The Batman: Part II' is moving forward, with its script finalized and filming planned for spring. Warner Bros. has officially scheduled the sequel for release on February 18, 2028. Concurrently, James Gunn has completed filming for his Superman sequel, 'Superman,' which follows the planned releases of 'Superman' in 2025 and 'Supergirl' in 2026 within his expanding DCU.
