“I am all for a bat family, but I want to see the formation of that, not just the aftermath” This hits different. I hope we actually get to see this

Man I wish. I respect Reeves' choice to make it a seperate thing and Robert doesn't really want to be tied down to a cinematic universe as expansive as the DCU. But man the Batman feels like an amazing start-off point to a universe in need of heroes that are hopeful.

Actually there is a comic where Alfred's car broke down and he just so happened to be within vicinity of the Kent farm. Young Clark sees Bruce in the car and asks him if he wants to play ball with him, much like the story you presented. However, Alfred encourages Bruce to go play with him and the two have the time of their lives. Later in the story, it is revealed that Alfred could've fixed the car immediately, but he hadn't seen Bruce so happy that he decided to not repair his car just yet.

I’ve been saying this for a while now man. People forget Batman’s most grounded stories in the comics doesn’t change the fact that other heroes pre exist in that universe with him, they just don’t get involved with his separate gotham activities

Even though this isnt happening, I really hope James Gunn at least makes Batman not too much older from Superman

it amazes me that to this day, we do not have a movie about Bruce and Clark's brotherly bond. I feel this is what the new dcu desperately needs. The balance between Bruce's dark world, and Clark's world of light and hope.

I don’t see why Reeves can’t oversee the Batverse within the DCU for Gunn and then whenever characters from Gotham cross over with the rest of the DCU, he can be consulted as Gunn was for the guardians in infinity war, end game and Thor

I’ve been saying this since the announcement of a new Batman. I think seeing all of these DC movies being told in different tones and scales is brilliant. The best way to separate the DCU from the MCU.

I’ve always thought this. What makes shared universes awesome is the ability to have many different types of tones and styles exhibiting the same shared world. Batman is versatile enough as a character to work with the justice league and then go back to Gotham city and have gritty and grounded story. Seeing Batman and Superman as equals figuring things out together would be magnificent

Hey it’s my favorite pretentious superhero YouTuber

I’m not gonna lie, I think as Battinson’s tech and character evolve, he’ll be more like the comics for sure. In the next film I expect a functioning cape glide and Arkham reminiscent gadgets if not in progress

It's an absolute shame we haven't seen the true friendship of Bruce and Clark on the big screen yet. It's one of my favorite relationships in all of comics.

I think the main thing is that James Gunn’s style, tone, and world that he’s building are COMPLETELY different from the vision that Reeves set in The Batman. Pattinson’s Batman could fit super well next to a Superman or a JL, but I think Reeves would have to be in Gunn’s position as the architect for it to work.

Been saying this too, I think it could work, all though I'm equally happy for Reeves to do his own thing as well.

Agreed. It annoys me to no end that Batman is typically excluded, or the main connected universe gets a lesser Batman with no movie of his own

You’ve just said everything I’ve been thinking ever since it was announced that Pattinson wouldn’t join the ranks of the Justice League in this new DCU Gunnverse and I cannot even explain how much this low key upsets me. Granted, if Reaves and Pattinson don’t really wanna be tied down to something like that, that’s totally understandable. It’ll absolutely take a while before we even see the potential of the DC Cinematic Universe start to form, but the fact that it’s not starting with Battinson and instead we’re getting yet another Batman is, like you said, nothing but missed potential.

Ngl ive been dreaming about this since Pattinson's Batman first came out. I had invisioned a world where we could soft reboot DC with Pattinson and Corenswet as we slowly and peaceful left the DCEU

Imagine if Robert Downey Jr's Iron-Man was taking place in a standalone universe and Tom Cruise got to play the main Iron-Man in the MCU. That's literally what they're doing with Robert Pattinson's Batman.

Bruce's very human physiology and his very inhuman personality contrasts extremely well with Clark's very inhuman physiology and his very human personality. Developing that friendship makes for sweet poetic irony.
