In addition to reimagining Batman, this takes place in its own universe, giving the creative team a clean slate to do their franchise however they want.
The first film will focus on Bruce investigating one of his most famous enemies with The Riddler , played by Paul Dano. But what his motives are and his interest in the Dark Knight is so far a big mystery. With this being envisioned as a new film series, The Batman has the opportunity to do something other Batman franchises haven't before. Despite being in the DC Universe, a lot of Batman stories focus on a more gritty perspective of Bruce's war on crime. Most enemies he faces are human with no powers whatsoever.
However, that doesn't exclude the concept of powered villains from Batman's mythology. It's currently known that this version of Gotham City's infamous vigilante will heavily showcase his ability as a master detective. But that shouldn't be the only aspect to be unique to this reboot. Given that there have been many interpretations of Batman, so there's a number of directions Pattinson's take on the hero and Reeves' take on the universe can go.
One of those elements should be to set The Batman in a universe where super-powers, magic, aliens, and more exist, contrasting sharply against something like Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight series. The Batman is one of many franchises to have featured the iconic DC detective in live-action. But something all 7 total films have in common is that they're all heavily focused on non-powered foes. But it's the Batman films with Christian Bale where the realistic tone was heavily increased.
There's no denying the Nolan films have been crucial to the representation of Batman on screen. Batman Begins was one of the first superhero films of the early 21st century to demonstrate how to do origin stories for comic book properties best.

In the Nolan Batmans, Falcone was played by Tom Wilkinson, who brought a mafioso gravitas to the role of the drug-running, Gotham-dominating crime boss. That role reportedly nearly went to Mahershala Ali, but he decided in the end to make a Blade reboot instead.
Serkis is a Reeve veteran, having worked with the director on both Apes films. That is, unless he undergoes a CGI-transformation. It is Andy Serkis, after all. Moving back toward the celebrated Christopher Nolan Batman franchise, it has been confirmed that The Batman will indeed be a trilogy, with Pattinson reportedly signing a three-picture deal. Reeves, who coyly confirmed the news of his casting with three Bat emojis and a gif of the actor, is thought to have only signed on for the first film.
The new series will be a fresh start for the franchise, with no connection to Zak Snyder's films. Affleck's now-scrapped script was rumoured to be a noir-style story, with elements of a detective film.
However, the new trilogy is focusing on a younger Batman, with the first instalment likely an origin story, in the same vein as Batman Begins. That said, Reeves told The Hollywood Reporter that the tone might not be too dissimilar. He explained, "The comics have a history of that. Sadly, though, it's also very unlikely. Quite apart from the practicalities of bringing the pair together temporally — Phoenix's Joker is in his late 30s in and we're assuming that The Batman will take place nowish, so Pattinson beating up a pensioner might not be the most edifying spectacle — Joker director Todd Phillips said the film's setting was deliberately chosen to head off potential sequels.
It exists in its own world. That's it. However, one fan theory — which Phillips hasn't fully refuted — is the Phoenix's Joker isn't the Joker, hence the lack of that definite article in the film's title. Instead, he could be the real deal's precursor, some kind of anarchic John the Baptist. His last line in the movie is, 'You wouldn't get it. Although it does feel a bit of a narrative cop-out. Obviously Batman's ride is a pretty important party of the whole renewal of the character, and we got a sneak peek of what Pattinson's Bruce Wayne will be cruising around Gotham in via director Matt Reeves' Twitter feed in March Feast your eyes.
Even Batman can't best the coronavirus.
