WHY BATTINSON DOESN'T FIT IN THE DC UNIVERSE! — Heroes Reforged

On this episode of Heroes Reforged, we tackle one of the hottest debates in superhero movies: should Robert Pattinson’s The Batman be folded into James Gunn’s brand-new DC Universe? Our answer: no. We break down why Matt Reeves’ dark, detective-driven Gotham works brilliantly on its own, but clashes with the tone and interconnected storytelling Gunn is building for the DCU. Using classic comic book runs as reference, we share how a new Batman should be reimagined for the DCU, and why Pattinson’s version deserves to remain a standalone film series without crossover. That’s not all! We talk about how Superman's trunks weren't as controversial a choice as the internet would have you believe. Plus, we react to the first look at Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day, unpacking what this new chapter means for Spidey fans. If you’re a fan of Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, or just love keeping up with the latest in comic book movies, this is a must-watch episode filled with deep-dive analysis, hot takes, and plenty of fan-fueled discussion. #TheBatman #DCU #JamesGunn #Superman #SpiderMan #BrandNewDay #RobertPattinson #Batman #Superman2025 #heroesreforged Cinematography of Genndy Tartakovsky: https://youtu.be/y2jLVvBJhQM *SUPPORT HEROES REFORGED* --------------------------------------------------- 🔔 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/SubHeroesReforged 🎟️ Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/patreon_reforged ⚙️ Gear We Use: https://amzn.to/2X3Pbzd 🛒 Merchandise: http://shop.heroesreforged.com *LISTEN TO THE PODCAST* --------------------------------------------------- 📺 YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgg_dS3XFBiklEnuDh0BmWxBEeAbcfNpb&si=u1UgBo8TUK1aAWMX 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0mClcvioNSVGcyDpqlBvYD 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heroes-reforged-podcast/id1315486440 🎤 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/40af005a-4560-40e2-811b-50089cb3f7e0/heroes-reforged-podcast *MORE REACTIONS TO WATCH* --------------------------------------------------- Peacemaker Season 2 Reactions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgg_dS3XFBinSgoo0YpDZXzaRim06Mzpd Fixed Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/TBD7Lm6e0f4 KPop: Demon Hunters Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/NxbpeQquMmA Alien: Earth Reaction: https://youtu.be/VEsYMg0vefk Creature Commandos - Season 1 Reactions: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgg_dS3XFBilMWu-jMQeURkntdkW8x6YG&si=iG9JuKnx4dIT8NNr More Movie Reactions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgg_dS3XFBilhOD6XrBdX_1R9ApTPBhYf Fantastic Four Review: https://youtu.be/ZacRmCAe578 Superman Review: https://youtu.be/OfxSknL6gLw *FOLLOW HEROES REFORGED* --------------------------------------------------- X: http://twitter.com/heroesreforged Instagram: http://instagram.com/heroesreforged TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@heroesreforged *FOLLOW THE TEAM* --------------------------------------------------- *ADAM HLAVAC* — Creator, Producer Instagram: http://instagram.com/adamhlavac X: http://twitter.com/adamhlavac TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@adamhlavac Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/adamhlavac/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@adamhlavac *HECTOR NAVARRO* — Co-Creator, Host Instagram: http://instagram.com/hectorisfunny X: http://twitter.com/hectorisfunny *AGUSTIN RIOS* — Co-Creator, Host Instagram: http://instagram.com/el_santotaco X: http://twitter.com/el_santotaco *THEME SONG* Created by @OutofTheaterReviews *CHAPTERS* --------------------------------------------------- 0:00:00 - Like & Subscribe 0:00:10 - Genndy Tartakovsky Podcast 0:00:45 - Fast & Furious Movie Reactions 0:02:40 - New Reaction Videos 0:06:14 - Batman and the DC Universe 0:08:40 - Matt Reeve's Conflicting Tones 0:11:35 - We Need DCU's Batman 0:13:10 - Luthor/Wayne Dynamics in DC 0:14:30 - The Batman Epic Crime Saga is Self-Contained 0:15:55 - Dealing with DCU Boundaries 0:19:06 - Drama vs Fantasy in Batman's Universe 0:20:15 - Evolution of DC Comics: Year Zero, New 52, Court of Owls 0:24:18 - Varying Tones in the DC Universe 0:28:20 - Fantasy in the Marvel Universe 0:30:40 - What to Read and Watch in DC 0:32:19 - How to Introduce DCU's Batman 0:33:38 - Will The Batman: Part III Happen? 0:37:30 - Audience Expecations / DC Confusion 0:41:53 - Robert Pattinson Commitment 0:43:24 - Superman's Trunks 0:45:17 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day 0:46:07 - Leave Spider-Man's Wrinkles Alone 0:49:07 - Spider-Man and Stark Tech 0:50:20 - Why Spider-Man's Homemade Suit Matters 0:56:55 - Top Tier Superhero Costumes 0:58:40 - Final Thoughts / Wrap Up 1:00:00 - Thanks to our Patrons
