Robert Pattinson’s Batman Might Meet DCU’s Superman, Says Key Artistic

The probabilities of seeing Robert Pattinson’s Batman assembly David Corenswet’s Superman within the DC Universe get addressed by one of many key creatives from the 2025 movie. Following the Superman ending, the Man of Metal’s newest cinematic journey has simply begun, with DC Studios already engaged on bringing Krypton’s final son again to the DCU.

Time will inform what different DC characters David Corenswet’s hero will cross paths with after the Superman post-credits scenes, as there are many choices for him within the franchise. One of the well-known ones that followers are trying ahead to seeing Superman with is Batman, whereas some are particularly wanting Pattinson’s model to be the one to crew up with Corenswet.

ScreenRant’s personal Joe Deckelmeier not too long ago interviewed Wētā’s Man Williams, who labored on Superman as a VFX supervisor, concerning the making of the DCU installment. When Williams was requested if he may ever see Pattinson’s Batman becoming into the identical world because the DCU’s Superman from a visible aesthetic standpoint, he shared the next:

Man Williams: That could be a hell of a very good query. I might say sure. You’ve obtained to know, administrators are a number of the most wonderful inventive individuals on the planet. Their job is to determine methods to take an idea that hardly holds in your mind and switch it right into a two-hour story that you may see. So, I assure you that there is a handful of administrators on the market that would work out methods to tie these two collectively and make it work.

It is like saying, “Do you assume that Rogue One Star Wars matches into the universe of the unique Star Wars?” As a result of Rogue One was rather a lot darker than the unique Star Wars trilogy.

There is a sure assumption that cinematography is the emotion that the viewer feels once they’re watching a movie as a privileged voyeur, for lack of a greater time period. And if I watch canine operating on a seashore, after which I watch warfare, my mind sees these alternative ways. So to say that simply because one’s sunny and one’s darkish does not imply that canine exist in a unique world and may by no means be on a seashore.

There are films that try this on a regular basis, the place you will have a horrific film and, swiftly, the man appears out to the water and sees a second of magnificence, and it reminds him that the world’s [beautiful.] I completely see that you could possibly tie these two collectively.

Pattinson is about to reprise the function of the Caped Crusader in 2027’s The Batman 2, with Matt Reeves again to direct the newest installment. As of proper now, The Batman 2 filming is about to start in 2026, with a handful of actors from 2022’s The Batman returning for the sequel.

Whereas Williams’ feedback about how Pattinson’s Batman may theoretically slot in the identical world as Corenswet’s Superman make sense, DC Studios has already determined what their plans are going to be for the Darkish Knight. Despite the fact that Gotham Metropolis grew to become a enjoyable Easter egg and DC reference in Superman, the DCU’s Batman shall be performed by a unique actor.

Because the Batman of the DCU can be going to be additional alongside in his journey as against the law fighter, compared to Pattinson, the story motive has already made it inconceivable for Reeves’ franchise to hook up with James Gunn’s universe. Pattinson’s Batman will stay in his personal Elseworlds-based universe, whereas The Courageous and The Daring film stays in improvement for the DCU.

Had it not been for The Courageous and The Daring setup, Williams’ feedback about Pattinson’s Batman becoming into the DCU would have absolutely labored. Despite the fact that Pattinson’s Batman will not be a part of the DCU timeline, there’s at all times the opportunity of having a crossover down the road by way of the multiverse idea.

However even when that does not occur, followers will nonetheless get to see Corenswet’s Superman along with a model of Batman down the road, whoever finally ends up being forged as him. Hopefully, after the massive Superman success, extra particulars on the DCU’s Batman will emerge sooner fairly than later.
