For years now a question has been if Matt Reeves’ The Batman’s Batman, played by Robert Pattinson, would be the Batman for that new universe.

DC Studios co-head James Gunn shares an update on the DCU's upcoming Batman and Wonder Woman movies, confirming both are currently being written.

New character details for DC Studios’ Clayface have been revealed, including the movie’s lead, love interest, love rival, and villain. There’s also news on whether it will feature the DCU’s Batman.

James Gunn’s DCU still hasn’t found its Batman… or has it? From Alan Ritchson to Robert Pattinson, here’s who could play him.

The DCU Batman has been a topic of discussion for a while, and ever since the release of Superman on July 11, 2025, people have been wondering about this universe's Caped Crusader.

Elsewhere in the Batman live-action economy, writer and director Matt Reeves previously shared news that the script for The Batman: Part 2 has finally been completed, moving forward with the second installment in the Patts-Man franchise, separate from the ambitious cinematic goals kicked off by Superman.

James Gunn's Superman movie quite literally sets a roadmap for the DCU heading towards a World's Finest team-up with Batman.

While Pattinson's Batman is part of the Matt Reeves Elseworlds universe, and therefore most likely won't ever cross over with David Corenswet's Superman, the DCU does have its own Batman project in the works: The Brave and the Bold.

DCU's Superman depicting a character as very similar to Batman makes the franchise's prospects for both figures seem very much promising.
