A new report offers some insight on what part of the DC Extended Universe's multiverse will be home to The Batman.

According to THR, The Batman will take place on Earth-2. The concept of a cinematic multiverse will also be explored in fellow upcoming DC blockbuster The Flash, which will utilize multiple universes to include both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton's versions of Batman.

The Earth-2 domain will be familiar to comic book readers as the one that was introduced in The Flash #123 in September 1961, in the process establishing the concept of a multiverse in the DC mythos. Earth-2 has also made appearances on Arrowverse shows like Arrow and The Flash. However, up to this point, it has not been utilized in the space of a feature film.

While DC Films briefly attempted to create a single shared cinematic universe for all its theatrical films starting with Man of Steel, it's become more relaxed in recent years in allowing certain projects to exist in their own universes. 2019's Joker, for example, was not connected to any other DC movies. Zack Snyder's Justice League is similarly considered non-canon, with only the theatrical cut existing in the same continuity as the rest of the DCEU.

At DC FanDome in 2020, DC Films President Walter Hamada addressed how DC would adapt in terms of embracing the multiverse moving forward. "On one Earth, you have Gal and Jason and Ezra, as this Justice League and you can continue telling these stories, while on another Earth, you can have a more grounded, real, Year Two Batman (a reference to Robert Pattinson's Batman)," he explained. "There is that one Earth, that greater Earth with this existing Justice League and another that's sort of happening with that Year Two Batman. And of course there's outliers like Joker, that doesn't exist on either Earth, but that's OK. Matt Reeves can continue to build out his Gotham."

Directed by Matt Reeves and written by Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, The Batman stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone and Peter Sarsgaard as District Attorney Gil Colson. The film arrives in theaters March 4, 2022.
