Warner Bros. Discovery may be having an interesting year due to the onslaught of changes over at DC Studios, but there is some good news. Even though it was rumored that newly appointed co-CEO’s James Gunn and Peter Safran wanted to find a way to merge The Batman universe with the main DC Universe, it has officially been debunked by all parties including director Matt Reeves. Reeves niche in the DC Universe is very secure after WB signed an overall deal with the director and is letting him develop spin-off series for HBO Max that include The Penguin, a series set in Arkham Asylum and one focusing on the Gotham City Police Department. The Batman’s success is owed to the directors faithfulness to the source material as well as the performances from Robert Pattinson and Paul Dano. Some actors have interesting approaches to how they take on roles and it seems that Dano is no different. During a recent discussion with Brian Tyree Henry for Variety, the actor revealed that he had to move away from his family to prepare for a scene in the film.
