Everything We Know About the DCU's Batman After Clayface

James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU is growing at a steady clip. In 2026 alone, we’ve seen new movies like Supergirl and Clayface and gotten a deep dive into all things Green Lantern with the Lanterns series. But for many DC fans, there are only two questions that need answering right now. First, is Adria Arjona actually playing Wonder Woman in 2027’s Man of Tomorrow? Second, where the heck is Batman?!?

We can’t help with the first question, but we can tackle the second. The Dark Knight remains elusive despite Clayface taking place in Gotham City. As we explored in our Clayface Ending Explained, don’t expect Batman to put in an appearance in this Batman-adjacent film. So what do we actually know about the DCU version of this iconic hero? Does Batman currently exist in the DCU? Here’s what we know so far.

When Gunn and Safran took charge of the DC brand back in 2023, they inherited a few loose ends from the previous regime. That includes Matt Reeves’ Batman franchise, which kicked off with The Batman in 2022 and continued in The Penguin series in 2024. Many fans wondered if Gunn and Safran would simply fold Robert Pattinson’s Batman into their new DCU, making The Batman the unofficial start of this rebooted universe.

However, Gunn has been pretty clear from the start that this isn’t the plan. When he and Safran revealed the Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters slate in 2023, they confirmed their intention to introduce a new version of the Dark Knight in a movie called Batman: The Brave and the Bold .
