Robert Pattinson's Batman and the Future of Justice League Cinematics
As of August 2023, there has been no official announcement regarding Robert Pattinson's Batman building his own Justice League separate from Zack Snyder's version. Pattinson's portrayal of Batman is part of a unique universe, specifically the one created by director Matt Reeves. While Reeves is focused on developing his own narrative and world for Batman, any potential crossover or Justice League formation involving Pattinson's version relies on future decisions by Warner Bros. and DC Studios.
The Standalone Nature of Pattinson's Batman
For now, it seems that Pattinson's Batman will primarily exist within his own standalone stories. His debut in The Batman (2022) showcases a unique and complex take on the character, distinct from previous interpretations. Reeves has emphasized that this version of Batman is a standalone film with its own narrative arc and world, suggesting that it will not immediately incorporate other DC characters such as the Justice League.
Future Crossovers and Potential Multiverse Connections
There is, however, a chance that the Justice League could exist in the world of Pattinson's Batman. Set photos from The Batman reportedly show likely pedestrians dressed as Superman and Wonder Woman. This raises the intriguing possibility that these characters may be part of the fictional universe derivative of the Pattinson universe.
The presence of these characters within the story suggests that Warner Bros. and DC Studios may consider expanding the universe, potentially leading to a Justice League with Pattinson's Batman. Moreover, there is a possibility that the new Superman under J.J. Abrams' direction could be connected to Pattinson's universe, adding another layer of complexity to the potential crossover.
Even if Pattinson's universe remains grounded with no existing super beings, the multiverse concept opens up numerous possibilities. Scenarios like the Flashpoint event could theoretically introduce parallel universes, allowing for various interpretations of the Justice League to coexist.
Uncertainty and Future Decisions
The future of Pattinson's Batman and the potential Justice League remains uncertain. For all we know, Pattinson could replace Ben Affleck in the role or be confined to one film. Warner Bros. and DC Studios have the flexibility to adapt and change plans, suggesting that anything is possible in the ever-evolving landscape of DC cinematic universe.
The prospects of a separate Justice League with Pattinson's Batman are intriguing but depend on the decisions made by the studios. Fans will have to wait and see how these plans unfold, but the possibilities are certainly exciting.
