James Gunn, the co-head of DC Studios, has assured followers on a couple of event that Robert Pattinson’s Batman won’t ever seem within the DC Universe. Which means there isn’t any likelihood of him ever crossing paths with David Corenswet’s Superman, who can have his personal Batman to combat alongside (or towards) sooner or later.
As a result of I do love the thought of Matt Reeves’ tackle the Darkish Knight present in its personal continuity, and for Gunn to have the liberty to create Elseworlds tales outdoors of the DCU, I’ve absolutely accepted that these two new iterations of DC Comics’ most iconic characters won’t ever share the display. Nevertheless, that doesn’t change the truth that I completely need to see them collectively in an upcoming DC film. Enable me to clarify…
Their Mismatched Dichotomy Would Make For A Enjoyable Buddy Film
What has made Batman and Superman such an fascinating duo within the comics is how dramatically totally different they’re from one another. The Man of Metal represents a shiny and hopeful world of heroics and Bruce Wayne’s alter ego reveals the darker facet of vigilantism. The truth is, one frequent grievance about Batman v Superman: Daybreak of Justice is that the movie makes the characters too tonally related.
Effectively, I’ve little doubt that may not be an issue if Robert Pattinson’s Batman and David Corenswet’s Superman teamed up in a World’s Best film. James Gunn’s new 2025 film, Superman, has been praised for depicting the title hero as way more hopeful and optimistic than newer cinematic incarnations, whereas 2022’s The Batman was famous for presenting simply concerning the darkest, moodiest Darkish Knight but. If I’m not mistaken, throwing collectively two folks with dramatically differing personalities is the method for the most effective buddy cop films ever, and this might possible be no exception.
Pattinson’s Batman May Be taught From Corenswet’s Optimism
An vital level to bear in mind is that Robert Pattinson’s Batman and David Corenswet’s Superman share the identical aim of creating the world a greater place, simply with drastically other ways of going about it (and never simply because one in every of them isn’t human). Bruce Wayne even realizes in The Batman’s ending that he would higher serve Gotham as a logo of hope as an alternative of vengeance.
You already know who might give Bats some nice tips on being extra hopeful? You guessed it! Clark Kent, who even goes via an analogous stage of disappointment as Batman in Superman when he discovers his mother and father could not have been who he thought they had been, however comes out of it stronger than ever. As somebody curious to see a “Battinson” who holds his head a bit increased, I’d say a run-in with Supes could be so as.
I am Curious To See Pattinson’s Batman Combat One thing Otherwordly With Superman
One purpose why The Batman is definitely my all-time favourite live-action Batman film is that not like many of the Caped Crusader’s cinematic adventures, it’s an old style detective story set in a gritty and astonishingly practical world. That being stated, as a result of I really like Robert Pattinson’s portrayal a lot, I believe it will even be actually enjoyable to see him tackle among the stranger foes in his rogues gallery, like Killer Croc or Poison Ivy, and even one thing from past Earth.
As I see it, one of the simplest ways to make sense of seeing this Batman in a combat of bizarre circumstances is to have it begin off as Superman’s drawback. Then, via a sequence of incidents that contain Lex Luthor’s interdimensional portal, he would unintentionally carry the motion to Matt Reeves’ Gotham, the place Supes and Bats would be a part of forces and depend on one another’s finest belongings (the Darkish Knight’s strategist abilities and the Man of Metal’s… properly, all the pieces) and cease it as soon as and for all. Truthfully, that might be the plot of an incredible World’s Best film.
Then once more, I’m positive I’ll have enjoyable with no matter James Gunn and Peter Safran really do find yourself developing with for a World’s Best journey in the primary DCU continuity. I additionally think about them to pick an incredible selection for his or her official Batman (although it higher be Alan Ritchson). Perhaps, if not an upcoming superhero film, Pattinson’s Batman and Corenswet’s Superman might cross paths in an honest fan movie or one-shot comedian e book, which could be shut sufficient for me.
