But at least one core element of the so-called Snyderverse is likely over: A well-placed source says Gunn and Safran are exploring the possibility of incorporating filmmaker Matt Reeves’ iteration of Batman with actor Robert Pattinson into their wider universe.

If it wasn't mentioned, movies like The Batman and Joker will be labeled as Elseworld movies. James Gunn wants to have two different universes for DC. One that has everything connected (like what they have been trying to do since Man Of Steel), and then Elseworld. And I want to say Elseworld will be more anthology since The Batman and Joker aren't connected at all to each other. But Pattinson's Batman will be its own thing and never really crossover into another DC universe.

I'd rather if they stuck with their own pocket universes.
