Yesterday an interview with director Matt Reeves surfaced where he said that The Batman would be a “standalone” movie that “isn’t part of the extended universe”. As you could imagine, it left fans scratching their heads. Thankfully the social media savvy director has taken to Twitter today to clear up his comments.

“Just to be clear: Of COURSE Batman will be part of the D.C. Universe, Batman will be BATMAN… In my comments from a while back about not being part of the DCEU, I was talking about The Batman being a story specifically about Batman… not about the others in the Universe. That it wouldn’t be filled with cameos servicing other stories – that it would be a BATMAN story.”
