Pattinson’s portrayal of Batman in the 2022 film was widely praised for its dark, gritty tone, which was reminiscent of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy and the film's focus on the character’s famous detective skills.

However, according to insider @MyTimeToShineH, following a private DC Studios press meeting, it has been confirmed that Pattinson’s Batman will remain separate, and the search for the DCU’s Batman has officially begun.
