Overview

• Speaking at Fan Expo Canada, Tyler Hoechlin said he wants to play the DCU’s Batman and, “selfishly,” would not fold Robert Pattinson into that continuity.
• Hoechlin praised Pattinson and Matt Reeves’ take while arguing their Batman should continue on its own track.
• The Brave and the Bold remains in the script phase, and James Gunn has said choosing a new Batman is still a long way off.
• Hoechlin is best known to DC audiences for portraying Superman across The CW’s Supergirl and four seasons of Superman & Lois.
• Pattinson is set to reprise Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, which sits outside the DCU and is scheduled for October 2027.
