The Batman Director Matt Reeves Speaks Out on Crossover With Joaquin Phoenix's Joker

TheBatman director Matt Reeves explains why Robert Pattinson's Batman won't crossover with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker:

✖ The Batman director Matt Reeves explains why Joker isn't part of the Batverse — and why Robert Pattinson's Batman and Joaquin Phoenix's Joker won't crossover. Set in year two of Bruce Wayne's crusade as a vengeful vigilante, the reboot takes place in present-day Gotham City. Filmmaker Todd Phillips' Batman-less spinoff Joker, about failed comedian Arthur Fleck's descent into madness, is set decades earlier in 1981 and has its own young Bruce Wayne .

Joker is an origin story for Fleck, revealing his transformation into the criminal mastermind who sparks an anarchist revolution that culminates in the deaths of Martha and Thomas Wayne in the early '80s. In The Batman, the infamous Wayne murders happen 20 years before current events — orphaning Reeves' Bruce Wayne around the year 2002.

In The Batman, the Dark Knight detective investigates a mystery involving early versions of Catwoman , Riddler , and Penguin .
