Why Battinson Doesn't Belong in the DC Universe! — Heroes Reforged

We make our case for why Robert Pattinson’s The Batman should remain a standalone series and not cross into James Gunn’s DC Universe. Drawing from the comics, we explore what a new DCU Batman could look like and why Reeves’ Gotham doesn’t fit the shared-universe tone. We also react to the first look at Superman’s suit from James Gunn’s Superman (2025) and dive into Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
