DC/WB Films/Worlds (No Spoilers)

With The Hollywood Reporter article mentioning Keaton will serve as a mentor figure in the Batgirl film, looks like they are ditching Batman in the main universe altogether and focusing on Batgirl with Older Bruce Wayne playing a Batman Beyond-esque retired mentor role for her.

Confirms that Robert Pattinson's movies are their own separate universe.

Hope not - there should be a regular Batman somewhere in that verse.
Although I am glad to have Pattinson's Batman be a separate thing.

Now we know why WB is so adamant about Flashpoint happening lol. It’s not a Barry Allen movie, it’s actually Into The Batverse featuring Batman’s wacky sidekick, The Flash!

Keaton simply playing a Batman Beyond-esque mentor figure would actually be a far less Batman stealing the spotlight from Flash situation than Thomas Wayne Batman.

Probably depends on how extensive a mentor he is in this situation. Will there be an expectation he'll suit up at some point?

I think Flashpoint or whatever its equivalent in the Flash film will just merge Keaton Earth with Snyder Earth, making Keaton the main universe's Bruce Wayne. Think "Batfleck" is done for good and won't appear beyond the Snyder Cut on HBO Max.

Eh, merging Earths is a little dull now.

As much as I would greatly prefer a hard reboot of the DCEU this approach isn’t half bad, and might make it stand out as unique compared to the MCU.

Keaton would need to go full Bat-Mecha to pose a legitimate threat. Even then it might just be for a climax scene, not a full Batman and The Flash situation.

That's literally the reason they have chosen to go with Flashpoint. To "soft reboot" the current main DC universe. Introducing the concept of multiple universes is just an accidental perk.

Maybe - but I am more interested in leaning into the whole multiverse thing as a way to have many more takes on characters and stories rather than just to reboot to mentor Batman and whatever is done with Superman.

They should definitely go forward with Supergirl and Batgirl if they are ditching the Rpatz Batman movies into their own elseworld

[Castling]

Now people are going to jump into assuming the Burton films are now canon to the current DC films .

Batman and Batman Returns will reportedly be canon.

I think it depends how they handle it. He probably won't be moving around like Affleck did.

Are they going to revive those projects?

Batman and Batman Returns will reportedly be canon.

I guess those are the only major ones people care about...

THEY laughed at me when I said Joker was a DCEU film, now I'm laughing.

The fact that Reeves Batman will remain a stand-alone separate universe tells me that Matt Reeves didn’t want his universe connected to a shared universe. I’d imagine there were some consideration but Reeves likely made it clear that he wanted to take the Chris Nolan route with his Batman and leave it as it’s own universe. Warners really does respect their filmmakers. They get to have their cake and eat it too.

Um... what? What does this have to do with Joker?
