What a week for the Gotham City news cycle!

In theJuly interview, Reeves described the film as a standalone…not part of the extended universe.

Universe is a vague term as applied to film franchises.

The latter is acting like what Reeves hopes for his Batman project.

You could interpret some ?

in Reeves note about cameos servicing other stories.

So you might interpret Reeves clarification as a kind of compromise.

Hey, universes are supposed to be big.
