Debate Over Integrating Matt Reeves' Batman into New DC Universe Intensifies

As James Gunn's DCU plans unfold, discussions emerge about the future of Matt Reeves' acclaimed Batman franchise.

Matt Reeves' standalone Batman universe, starring Robert Pattinson, has been a critical and commercial success, prompting discussions about its potential integration into the new DC Universe.
James Gunn and Peter Safran, co-heads of DC Studios, are developing a new shared universe, which includes a separate Batman film, The Brave and the Bold, focusing on Batman and Robin.
Reeves' Batman is set in its own continuity, similar to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, and there are creative concerns about integrating it into a larger shared universe.
DC Studios may consider maintaining separate Batman franchises, as Gunn has suggested that multiple iterations of Batman could coexist, similar to the multiverse concept in superhero films.
The Penguin TV series, a spin-off from Reeves' Batman, has been well-received, indicating strong fan engagement and potential for further expansion of Reeves' Gotham universe.
