Recently, a viral poster on social media sparked a frenzy among fans, suggesting a crossover special between The Batman and The Conjuring. The intriguing image showed The Batman flanked by the stars of The Conjuring, igniting widespread speculation and excitement.
The poster was accompanied by a detailed description of a plot that promised to bring together the worlds of Gotham City and the supernatural investigations of Ed and Lorraine Warren. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this crossover is purely a work of fan fiction.
This particular poster was put up by YODA BBY ABY on Facebook. The page regularly posts fan-made images of shows or films. And this time too, it was indeed a fan-made poster suggesting a cross-over between The Batman and The Conjuring, and not an official one.
The viral poster featuring a crossover between The Batman and The Conjuring is fan-made
The viral poster depicting a crossover between The Batman and The Conjuring has been confirmed as fan-made and not an official release. Behind this creation is YODA BBY ABY Facebook account which often shares artwork created by fans.
Though the description might seem intriguing, such a collaboration between Batman characters with the Warrens is pure fiction. The bio of Facebook account YODA BBY ABY mentions:
"I'm just here to eat frogs, lift rocks, and be satirical. The page is 100% satire and fake news."
There are several reasons why it is highly unlikely for The Batman to cross over with The Conjuring films. Firstly, these two movies come from completely different cinematic universes. Directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson as its main actor, its official title is The Batman, which is one of the DCEU movies.
The Conjuring series of horror films is not directly linked to any superhero movie or universe. Furthermore, blending supernatural and action genres might not be realistic, as the audience for both is different.
Gotham City’s dark underbelly where Bruce Wayne dwells as well as his alternate identity is what surrounds The Batman film. This adaptation involves a realistic depiction of heroes fighting crimes, albeit with much darker tones around it.
On the other hand, The Conjuring series is deeply entrenched in supernatural horrors where Ed and Lorraine Warren are busy investigating paranormal happenings and fighting demons.
The Batman and The Conjuring are both available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
