THE BATMAN Director Matt Reeves Now Says That The Movie Is Not "Part Of The Extended Universe"
Though his comments will almost certainly be misinterpreted, Matt Reeves has still allowed for even more confusion and uncertainty relating to The Batman to spread during a recent interview. Take a look...
An interview Matt Reeves gave before SDCC last month has only just surfaced online, and some of the director's quotes relating to the The Batman are definitely going to cause a stir.
While appearing on The Business podcast, Reeves was asked about his planned solo Batman project, and seemed to imply that the film would not be a part of The DCEU:
“Well, I have a vision for a way to do something with that character that feels like it resonates with me personally, and a perspective that can grow out into other things. When they [Warner Bros.] approached me, what they said was ‘look, it’s a standalone, it’s not part of the extended universe.'”
While some have taken this to mean that The Batman will exist in a completely separate continuity to WB's established DC Films Universe, it's far more likely that Reeves simply meant that his film would tell a self-contained story and wouldn't be set-up to tie directly into the other movies.
Even still, on the heels of last night's Joker origin movie news, this is bound to cause a lot of confusion.
