    Batman Robert Pattinson Discusses Joining James Gunn’s DCU

    Sarah Parker Sarah Parker Posted on


    It’s safe to say 2026 is the year of Robert Pattinson, and he’s not slowing down anytime soon as he has even more projects coming out before the end of the year. Pattinson’s year began back in April when he teamed up with Zendaya for The Drama, the underrated A24 rom-com that grossed $134 million at the box office before becoming a streaming smash on HBO Max. Pattinson and Zendaya reunited just a few months later for Christopher Nolan’s new movie, The Odyssey, which is finally coming to VOD this November after crushing dozens of box office records. The duo is teaming up once again at the end of the year for Dune: Part Three, which will be one of the first times in history that a pair of stars had three movies together in the same year.

    Between promoting his many movies this year, Robert Pattinson has been hard at work this year shooting the highly anticipated sequel to his 2022 film, The Batman. After suffering several delays, the film is now scheduled to be released in theaters on February 18, 2028, nearly six years after the premiere of the original film. Many fans have speculated that these delays were due to the sequel now taking place in the DCU, but during a recent interview with LADbible to promote his new movie Primetime, Pattinson safely ruled this out: “I think it would be kind of tough to have this version of Bruce outside of that world… it’s such a specific kind of [style], the tone of it gets inside you.” Pattinson has seemingly ruled out his version of Bruce Wayne ever existing in another universe.

    Which Superhero Team Should You Join?
    Avengers · X-Men · Teen Titans · The Boys

    Every team is a personality test with a uniform. One saves the world and argues about it the whole way home. One has been fighting for the right to exist since the day it formed. One is still working out who it is while the fighting happens. And one has no powers at all, plus no intention of playing fair. Eight questions decide where you actually belong.

    01

    What kind of power would you actually want?
    The power matters less than what you would be willing to do with it.

    ASomething enormous and obvious. I would not hide it.
    BSomething I was born with, whether I wanted it or not.
    CSomething still growing that I cannot quite control.
    DNone at all. I would rather nobody sees me coming.

    02

    Why join a team at all?
    Nobody puts on the suit for the reason they say out loud.

    A Because some threats are too big for anyone alone.
    B Because people like me are safer together than apart.
    C Because I did not want to do any of this alone.
    D Because somebody has to hold these people accountable.

    03
    How do you feel about the people in charge?
    Every team has a chain of command. Very few of them survive contact.

    A I will follow a good leader and argue with a bad one.
    B They have never protected people like me. I expect nothing.
    C I am still learning who to trust, and getting it wrong.
    D They are the problem. That is the entire point.
