According to Muschietti, the Batman in his upcoming 'The Brave and the Bold' film will 'belong' to Gunn's DCU, while Pattinson's 'The Batman' will remain separate.
Muschietti says 'releasing two Batman films simultaneously would be counterproductive,' indicating DC is strategizing to ensure the two franchises don't overlap - a move that could disappoint fans hoping for a unified DCU.
