The Batman was released before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over at DC Studios, and the relationship between their new interconnected universe and these Reeves projects remains a little unclear. Gunn has already said this The Batman and its sequels/spinoffs are part of the Elseworlds brand and therefore not part of its new continuity. The lightning Director Andy Muschietti has even been hired to direct a new Batman film that will be part of Gunn’s universe, although the filmmaker hinted in a recent interview that the project has hit some roadblocks.

But will audiences really be able to understand two different Batman films at the same time? This 2027 postponement will allow time to see how fans and critics react to next year’s release Supermanthe first flagship film from Gunn’s project. If this film is successful, perhaps Gunn and Reeves will try harder to place Pattinson’s Dark Knight next to David Corenswet’s Man of Steel. If not, perhaps Reeves and Pattinson will continue to forge their own path, independent of larger franchises.
