The new management at DC Studios may have plans for Robert Pattinson beyond the universe of The Batman.
According to sources cited by Nexus Point News, Skydance wants to keep the actor as the main Batman in the franchise and is considering his possible integration into the DC Universe (DCU). However, the idea faces some obstacles that could hinder negotiations.
It's worth remembering that Pattinson's Batman currently belongs to an independent universe, directed by Matt Reeves, separate from the main DCU continuity. To bring the character into the same reality as Superman and other heroes, the new administration would need to make important decisions about the future of both franchises.
Another potential problem involves rumors that the actor is being considered to play James Bond. If he takes on the role of Agent 007, his schedule could be compromised, hindering his participation in a possible third film or other projects in the shared universe.
Furthermore, according to the publication, it is still unclear whether Pattinson would be willing to continue playing Batman beyond The Batman: Part II.
To date, there is no official confirmation that the studio intends to incorporate Pattinson's version into the DCU or that the actor has received an offer to that effect.
