Robert Pattinson has trouble imagining a universe where his Batman and James Gunn's Superman could co-exist, casting doubt on a potential crossover.
Speaking with LADbible, Pattinson stated that he thinks it would be difficult to pluck his take on a dark, grounded Batman and drop him in James Gunn's lighter, more fantastical DC universe.
“I think it would be kind of tough to have this version of Bruce outside of that world," he said. "It's one of the only characters, I guess because of the length of the shoots, but also it's such a specific kind of [style], the tone of it gets inside you. I remember that happened to me the last time I did it, it took a while. You’re just in the dark, the whole time. Both mood-wise and light-wise, I can't see anything for like months. It does affect you, like you feel strange afterwards."
Fans have been somewhat split for a while now over whether Pattinson should also play Batman in Gunn's main DC universe, or if he should remain relegated to his own separate part of the multiverse, and it seems like Pattinson believes the latter makes the most sense. James Gunn himself has said that they're developing a Batman film that will follow an older Bruce Wayne, with Damian Wayne as his sidekick.
There have been very few updates about that film, with some believing DC may wait for Matt Reeves to conclude his story before introducing another Batman in order to avoid confusing audiences.
