That said, with the DCEU now arguably in a weaker position than it was before the release of Justice League, this new report once again has us thinking of the possibility of a new Batman (Jake Gyllenhaal has been widely-rumored for the part) with no connection to films like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice or Suicide Squad making an appearance.
This report from Batman-On-Film comes on the heels of similar stories that surfaced several months ago in which Matt Reeves stated that his Batman movie wouldn’t be part of the DCEU.
Fans quickly scrutinized his words, which caused him to walk back his remarks and clarify that he merely meant that he intended to tell a standalone story.
