James Gunn's new DCU is kicking off with Creature Commandos and a new Superman movie, which will hopefully put the DC Universe in the good graces of casual audiences. With the success of Matt Reeves' The Batman and The Penguin series, many people assume Robert Pattinson will be the Batman of the new DCU and share the screen with David Corenswet's Superman, as well as crossover with other potential future Justice League members like Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman. However, Matt Reeves and James Gunn have continuously emphasized that the Batman movies starring Robert Pattinson are being kept separate from the DCU and will be labeled as Elseworlds, similar to the Joker movies. The DCU will cast a new actor for a version of Batman who is much more experienced and has an extended Bat-Family, potentially featuring the likes of Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin.
