Matt Reeves' film The Batman made itself abundantly clear that it doesn’t occupy the same continuity as other recent live-action DC Comics blockbusters. This has only been reinforced by recent developments concerning The Batman spawning a prospective standalone universe of TV spin-offs. All these traits make it easy to forget that this production didn’t just start as something set in the DC Extended Universe, but was meant to be the big solo adventure of Ben Affleck’s take on the Dark Knight. The journey of how a movie called The Batman went from being an Affleck vehicle to Robert Pattinson’s inaugural Batman adventure is full of ups, downs, and every direction in between.
