batman The fanbase may be heading for a strange crossroads. Reports about DC Studios co-CEO resurface James Gunn has reportedly expressed interest in introducing Rob PattinsonBatman enters the larger DC Universe (DCU).
However, as a director, I have a small problem Matt Reeves Don’t agree with this idea. While fans are already gearing up for two very different Dark Knight movies, Gunn may want to unite Pattinson’s Batman with his DCU universe, which would hurt Reeves’ down-to-earth, gritty, A noir-inspired Batverse.
This latest report comes from the latest episode of The Hot Mic podcast, with co-host Jeff Sneider sharing insight into the situation.
Snyder revealed that Gunn “really wanted Pattinson to join the DCU,” but Reeves was “resistant” to the idea. Reeves’ vision batman The trilogy and the world he crafted around it seemed to contradict the broader, interconnected world Gunn was building in the DCU.
Snyder also clarified that the reported production delays batman part 2 Having nothing to do with the debate, chalking it up to a “personal matter” he chose not to elaborate on.
Gunn has previously publicly discussed the possibility of merging the two Batman universes, saying: “I’ve thought about it, yes. I think about everything and talk about everything.
“I’m committed to telling stories in the DCU and telling stories from other worlds. We hope to tell a story about Superman that’s different, or tell a story about Superman. red sun The story…we wanted to be able to play these characters in different ways.
He also highlighted one of DC’s unique advantages over Marvel, saying: “One of the reasons I prefer DC to Marvel comics is [Elseworlds] The story is richer… I think that’s part of the joy of DC.
When there were previous rumors about Robert Pattinson’s Batman joining the DCU, Gunn responded: “That’s completely untrue.”
Although Gunn has denied this, the reports still come from insiders like Snyder, who seem very confident in their reporting.
If that makes any sense, I think it would make more sense to separate Gunn’s DCU from Reeve’s Batman universe. I’m not sure why Gunn would consider merging these two very different worlds.
