Robert Pattinson, the leading man in Matt Reeves’ The Batman trilogy, may one day have a much bigger role to play in the DC Universe. But the director recently said that any such step would be taken only if it makes creative sense.
Speaking about integrating Pattinson’s Batman into the larger DCU now led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, Reeves answered questions during a red-carpet interview at the Golden Globes. He told Josh Horowitz, “It really depends on whether it makes sense or not.”
Reeves made sure to make it clear that he’s currently focused on the next film, The Batman: Part 2, ahead of the critical hit in 2022.
He added, “There was a story I wanted to tell; we’re calling it an epic crime saga and all that, that’s the thrust of what we wanted to do, and it’s important for me to be able to play it out.”
Speaking about integrating Pattinson’s Batman into the larger DCU now led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, Reeves said, “I don’t know; we’ll have to see where it goes.”
For now, Matt Reeves is focusing on Robert Pattinson’s solo Batman films, leaving the question of future involvement in the DCU open. He also further talked about the sequel, which will release on October 1, 2027, but after a delayed release. The script is being developed, shooting is planned for next year. He said, they are excited to start shooting and create something special.
