The Batman May Be More Enjoyable Because Of What Isn't In It
With the premier of the DC and Warner Bros. film The Batman just one week away, fans are excited to see Robert Pattinson take the superhero industry by storm. As the movie's titular character, Pattinson’s Batman will be forced to confront enemies that no live-action Bruce Wayne has dealt with for a very long time, in a world that looks much different from the DCEU viewers have come to expect.
The Batman is set to be a standalone piece, meaning the project currently has no ties to any other DCEU projects that have been created thus far. This means there shouldn't be tons of Easter eggs for viewers to search for, and the chances of there being a cameo from other DC fan favorites is slim to none.

Rather than building upon a universe that's already been created, The Batman explores uncharted territory in a world that's entirely Pattinson’s own. The story is meant to focus solely on Pattinson’s Batman, and the other characters associated with him, detailing his journey into heroism in a unique, DC inspired setting.
Having become separate from all other DCEU heroes that have been given their time on the big screen, The Batman appears to be returning to the original, “small scale” superhero-style film. The characters and conflict are grounded in a single reality, with the attention on what’s happening to Bruce Wayne alone. As of right now, nothing fans have seen implies that Pattinson’s Batman will have any major connections to other DC characters, like Superman, Aquaman, or even versions of Batman that have existed in the DCEU prior to Pattinson's revival of the hero.
