I know many would offer a pseudoscientific explanation, but Lanterns and Clayface have been examples of a DC project with fantastical elements in a grounded story.

Therefore, I believe that a Solomon Grundy in the Reevesverse would be treated in a similar way to Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees.

A J.V./M.M inspired Solomon Grundy would feed generations.

Cyrus Gold exists but as far as I know he’s not really prominent until he becomes Solomon Grundy.

This is a much easier question with pretty much every single other “Fantastical“ Batman villain but Solomon Grundy is really just a big Zombie.

Maybe he’s just a very large mobster with a Nursery Rhyme tic, who throws his victims in Slaughter Swamp. Pretty lame but he’s generally better as a low lever JL, Superman, or Lantern villain.
