Fans of the 2022 film The Batman may be disappointed to learn that Robert Pattinson will not be playing the new caped crusader in the James Gunn version of DCEU. Neither will Ben Affleck, who played the character in Zack Snyder's DCEU.

The new Bruce Wayne is yet to be announced, but fans can be rest assured that the film will not interfere with the continuation of Matt Reeves's The Batman trilogy. James Gunn confirmed that he is working with Robert Pattinson on Batman 2 and that Ben Affleck is keen to direct one of their projects.

He said:

"This is the introduction of the DCU's Batman. It is not Robert Pattinson. It is not Ben Affleck. We're working with Robert on The Batman — Part II, and in dealing with that with Matt Reeves."

He continued:

"He continued by saying, I am working with Ben Affleck, who really wants to be—has been a part of our architectural team trying to bring things together, and he really wants to direct one of our projects, and we're excited for him doing that."
