Holy Continuity Issues!
To those who keep track of these things: is Batman-News the website managed by the guy with a pathological, obsessive hatred of the DCEU who'd sell his soul to the devil for any kind of rumour that could negatively impact WB's main endeavour? I know that guy exists, but I keep forgetting which website he's attached to.
Can someone listen to the audio provided? It could just mean in a different continuity but in the same Universe, if that makes sense.
I'm very confused by all this non-Universe stuff and WB would go down a bad path doing this imo.
It could be that Reeves just means his film is intended to be something standalone, without setting up stuff for future films or relying on previous films, and he just worded his statement poorly. Similar to how Wonder Woman didn't have much in the way of set-up for future DCEU films and could be enjoyed without having a clue what happened in the previous DCEU films.
When it comes to comics,one person's "fan-service" is another persons personal cannon. So by definition it's ALL fan service. Aren't we ALL fans?
SUPERMAN is the greatest fictional character ever created.
It's to the point where WB/DC needs to hold an event, ideally right after JL opens, and lays out the plan. Otherwise all of their auxiliary announcements, leaks, and misquotes just lead to bad press in the absence of a firm plan. Honestly, as someone who does it for a living, they really need a solid Communications Firm in their corner to help iron all this out.
Now speculation MR's The Batman might not be connected to the DCEU
