Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Batman

Thanks to a cameo from a current Robin actor seen early on in The Batman, a fun link to the greater DC Multiverse potentially exists. Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman is set in its own universe apart from the DCEU. However, an unlikely (yet fun) theory has emerged thanks to an actor's shared credits in The Batman as well as in HBO's Titans (similarly set in its own version of Earth in the DC Universe).

In the first 15 minutes of The Batman, Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne is seen taking on a group of thugs on Halloween as the Dark Knight, emerging from the shadows to brutally take them out one by one. However, the brawl is preceded by the gang encouraging one of their younger members to jump a random bystander. Even so, the teenager hesitates as he's unable to go through with it. Likewise, this same gang member doesn't throw any punches once the Batman arrives while also calling out when one of the others pulls a gun on the vigilante who's proclaimed himself to be "Vengeance". Being the last one standing, the young man flees (with Batman letting him go).

Interestingly enough, this particular teen credited only as "Train Gang Young Member" is portrayed by Jay Lycurgo who also plays Tim Drake in HBO's Titans. In the comics, Tim Drake is the third Robin, a role which Lycurgo's Drake will be taking on with the show's upcoming fourth season. While it's more than likely a coincidence with no intentional connection on the part of Reeves or Warner Bros., the multiverse is a wonderful thing. For example, it's been confirmed that The Batman takes place on Earth-2 while the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths
