Actor Robert Pattinson has said it would be difficult for his version of Batman from Matt Reeves The Batman to exist within filmmaker James Gunns DC Universe, citing the distinct tone and style of the franchise, Variety reported.
Pattinson, who first portrayed Bruce Wayne in the 2022 film The Batman, addressed speculation about his character joining Gunns DCU in an interview. I think it would be kind of tough to have this version of Bruce outside of that world, Pattinson said. The actor explained that playing the character requires a deep commitment because of the films lengthy production process and its darker atmosphere. Its one of the only characters, I guess, because of the length of the shoots, but also its such a specific kind of [style]; the tone of it gets inside you, he said, Variety reported I remember that happened to me the last time I did it, it took a while. Youre just in the dark the whole time. Both mood-wise and light-wise, I cant see anything for like months. It does affect you, like you feel strange afterwards, Pattinson added, Variety reported Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman introduced a darker and more grounded interpretation of the iconic DC character, with Pattinson playing a younger Bruce Wayne investigating corruption and crime in Gotham City. The film was released in 2022 and received attention for its distinct approach compared with previous Batman adaptations. Meanwhile, James Gunns Superman, released in 2025, presented a different tone for the DC Universe, offering a lighter interpretation of the superhero while exploring emotional themes. Pattinsons standalone franchise is set to continue with The Batman Part II, which is scheduled to release in theatres on February 18, 2028, Variety reported. The upcoming sequel will continue Reeves vision of Gotham and Pattinsons portrayal of the masked vigilante, separate from Gunns broader DC Universe storyline. (ANI)
