In recent years, the Worlds of DC have moved away from being an interconnected universe to more standalone adventures for its heroes. Show
There's still the main DC timeline featuring the likes of Wonder Woman and Aquaman, but the universe has expanded to include standalone universes where you don't really need any prior knowledge of what's happened before, such as Joker. The Batman was originally planned to be a solo outing for Ben Affleck's Batman, following his DC debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, it's now arrived on screen with Robert Pattinson in the lead role making his DC debut, so there might be some confusion about where (or if) it fits in the wider universe. So do you need any prior knowledge of the Worlds of DC movies to date to watch The Batman? The good news is that, like Joker, it's a totally standalone movie that takes place outside of the main continuity of the DC timeline.  The Batman isn’t, however, an origin story like Batman Begins. Instead, the new movie takes place in Year 2 of Bruce Wayne’s career as Gotham’s Caped Crusader – but that doesn’t mean it’s a sequel. For fans who want to know what happened prior to the new blockbuster, there’s a tie-in book called Before The Batman: An Original Movie Novel. The film’s main classic villains this time around are Paul Dano’s The Riddler and Colin Farrell’s The Penguin. Although the latter is yet to become the crime kingpin of the DC Comics. Both these characters haven’t appeared in a live-action Batman movie since the 1990s, so their return to the big screen is long overdue. READ MORE
The Batman also sees Zoë Kravitz play Selina Kyle aka Catwoman and John Turturro portrays mob boss Carmine Falcone. What might confuse fans though is that The Flash movie is released in November and features both Affleck’s Batman and Michael Keaton reprising Bruce Wayne. The way Warner Bros get around this is by embracing the DC multiverse, which assumes there are multiple variants of the same characters in different worlds – just like how there were three Peter Parkers in the Marvel movie Spider-Man No Way Home, with both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield starring opposite Tom Holland’s Web Slinger. The Flash Trailer with Ezra Miller and Michael KeatonThe Batman is very much its own thing, just like Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, which is set in another world. However, The Flash takes place in the DC Extended Universe, which is the reality with Affleck’s Batman and the other Justice League movies like Wonder Woman and Aquaman. The upcoming Ezra Miller speedster movie begins in this world with his Flash and Batfleck. However, as he goes back in time to stop his mother from being murdered, he opens up the DC multiverse which is how Keaton’s classic Dark Knight can return. DON'T MISS TrendingAs confusing as this all sounds, it does open the possibility of Pattinson’s The Batman one day sharing the big screen with Affleck, Keaton and maybe even more. Both the Marvel and DC movies are exploring their multiverses and hopefully will build up to some huge crossovers. And maybe one day there could even be a movie where both franchises collide.
