As the new DC Universe takes off, there seems to be one question on fans’ minds. What’s going on with The Batman and its spinoffs, and does it actually have a place in the new canon?
The answer has always been the same: the “Batman Epic Crime Saga,” created by director Matt Reeves and his producing partner Dylan Clark, is entirely its own thing. Rather than joining the DCU, Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader occupies his own space in Elseworlds, an imprint designed for any DC story that takes place outside of established canon. Gunn will introduce a new incarnation of Batman for his DC Universe in the years to come, and he’s never wavered on that strategy. But that doesn’t make this new plan any less confusing.
