The Pattinson Batman Trilogy will NOT be Part of the Main DCEU Timeline


Ever since Robert Pattinson has been announced as the new Batman, fans have been arguing about his place in the DCEU timeline. While firmly believe that the movie takes place in its own separate universe like Joker, an insider has come out to confirm our speculations.

As confirmed by insider Daniel Richtman, Matt Reeves' The Batman will be taking place in its own timeline apart from the DCEU. Here's the post:

While this is sure to be good news for anyone keeping continuity, I have a feeling that there are still plans to have Pattinson interact with the main DCEU as a whole. After all, rumblings are going around that the Flash solo film will introduce a multiverse—even going so far as to bring in Michael Keaton's Batman—and that could very well set the stage for crossovers with multiple Dark Knights be it Ben Affleck's or maybe even Jeffrey Dean Morgan's (if we're lucky).

If anything, Reeves was said to have requested that his Batman be given his own universe so as to give complete creative freedom to tell this Batman's story. While fans would certainly love to see the return of Affleck's Caped Crusader, this at least keeps the door open for that return—should it ever happen in the next few years.

For now this is all just based on insider information, and we're still waiting for WB to make some kind of official announcement. Hopefully we get it all cleared up at the DC FanDome event happening this August.

The Batman is set to release on Oct. 1, 2021.
