The Batman Star Says Multiple Batman Continuities Are Justified

the batter delivered another cinematic hit for the DC superhero, albeit a very different version than previously seen on screen. Robert Pattinson is the sixth actor to portray the Dark Knight on the big screen since Michael Keaton donned the cape and hood in 1989, and he will be one of three different Batmen to be seen within a year, as will both Keaton and Ben Affleck. appear in The flash. In front of the batter star Paul Dano that’s fine, because each Batman is a reinterpretation for different times. While speaking in a video for GQDano explained why he doesn’t see multiple Batman movies with different continuities as a problem.

“Because Matt had such a specific point of view and a new one, it gave me a lot of freedom, you know, like this is this Riddler, I’m not going to worry about the others or the comics. I tried to take all the archetypal energy out of the comics, and I read a bunch of them, and I’m writing a comic about the Riddler now, and I was shocked at how much I loved putting the movie out and interacting with that fanbase, again a fan of my own, and how much fervor there is around The Batman.

I also think that, that’s why – why should we keep making these, right? It is to reinterpret. And it’s also to reinterpret for time, to continue to explore a character in a world. So, I think for people like Matt and Tim Burton and Chris Nolan, and who’s going to wear it after that, I think it’s got to be an artist with a point of view that takes that character and that city for the time we’re in.”

How does The Flash deal with multiple Batman?

Although there have been many fragments and rumors about The flashWhat exactly will happen in the film is still being kept a secret, especially when it comes to how the film will handle the inclusion of both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as their respective Batmen. Though it was originally thought that Ben Affleck’s Batman would be killed off in the film, with Keaton replacing him for an undisclosed amount of time.

However, those rumors were last heard when… batgirl still lived with Warner Bros. Discovery, and Michael Keaton’s Batman was expected to appear in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. the cancellation of batgirl immediately removed a major Keaton appearance in the DCEU continuity, and his cameo role in the Aquarius sequel has been replaced by Ben Affleck. With new rumors also adding a possible Superman cameo to The flashit looks like Batman’s future treatment in the DCEU may have changed in recent months.

While much of the upheaval that came with the Warner Bros. merger. and Discovery is now behind us, there is clearly still no clear route for the DCEU. Of Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson has recently suggested that all the DC movies out there, including The Batman, are all somehow part of the same DC universe, it seems like anything is possible.
