In the midst of so much DCU news, James Gunn also gave an update on The Batman and its sequel, The Batman Part II, which might confirm some popular theories about the plot. James Gunn's announcement and clarification on the future of DC projects clearly establishes that popular franchises such as Matt Reeves The Batman and it's spin-offs and sequels, and Todd Phillips Joker will clearly live on as DC Elseworlds. This means that they will not tie into the central DCU canon, but the creative teams behind each project will have freedom to establish their worlds unimpeded.
