What Pattinson said
Asked about crossing into the wider DC universe, Pattinson described the idea as interesting but said this version of Bruce Wayne would be difficult to remove from Reeves's carefully controlled world. He emphasized the production's darkness in both mood and lighting and how long that tone stays with him.
Why fans keep asking
DC Studios has been developing a separate Batman for The Brave and the Bold while Reeves's films continue as their own strand. Delays and the popularity of Pattinson's performance have kept crossover speculation alive even without a formal integration plan.
The status check
The comments come from an actor interview, not a DC Studios release. They express Pattinson's view of the creative difficulty; they neither cancel The Batman Part II nor definitively settle who will play Batman elsewhere in the DCU.
