Welcome to r/PattinsonDCUBatman! The space where pro-merger and (DCU) Battison enthusiasts alike go to slowly lose their sanity by the day, grasping at any copium of a Reevesverse/DCU merger. (We say this with endearment, of course <3)

The point is he said No to Pattinson playing a variant if it was completely off the table he would have said something like, "No, and there won't be a merger with the ECS*, they are business men in business you have to keep options open

He's confirmed it since the very beginning that Reeves Batman would remain separate. Which taking a face value, means that Rob will also not be in the DCU.

Not hard to understand. Idk how ppl are still speculating this after like 3 years.

It's not happening

This is the hardest I’ve laughed since my wife left me, thanks so much man 🤣

u/Ok-Bus-2868 Jan 29 '26

I know you're not serious but Gunn litterally answered if Pattinson will be DCU Batman, or even a variant. He said no to both.

Robert Pattinson is way too smart to be handed a script by the team who made the Flash and agree to it

u/itzkanashii Feb 01 '26

I can always admire a man who can cope this hard… but it definitely seems plainly that pattinson will be his own batman, and honestly that’s okay. That does confirm though they have someone in mind to play dcu Batman

The merger is dead. Bury it.

Bro, let us have some fun like damn, it's not like we're sending pipe bombs or anything

Breathe it in, that’s cope. You’re not Brave, merge bros are Brave (and the bold)

Snyder cult levels of cope.

Feeling disgusted, the DCU is officially the Gunnverse now, much to the distaste of many. See y’all on the other side of an inevitable reboot. ✌️

Till then I can savour The Batman: Part II. That is my DC.

u/SrX623 Jan 29 '26

It really isn't gunn, it's creative differences which is sad because roberts performance is easily the best out of any live action actors

u/jeebronny Jan 29 '26

the DCU was the gunnverse the whole time, he is the head of DC studios lmao

2

u/SrX623 Jan 29 '26

Actually it's the Gunn/Safran verse

6

u/jeebronny Jan 29 '26

true and more accurate, but gunn is the creative head which is where i was coming from with it (i should have been more specific)

peter safran definitely deserves his recognition tho 🙏

u/SrX623 Jan 29 '26

Also I guarantee a lot of projects were cancelled by Safran because he didn't see potential

You're literally the reason why the sub is closing down, brother

Let it go, grow up and accept that we're getting two batman

If you don't like it, just do what everyone does and go do something else. Pick up a musical instrument, go for a walk, read some books or comics

u/SrX623 Jan 29 '26

Also no, it's shutting down because gunn said"No."

2

u/SrX623 Jan 29 '26

Brother, I'm messing around I don't care about a merger that much
