Nolan ruining the continuity of his own trilogy
Builds all three films on a grounded non-comic book reality then has Batman running around with aliens and fishmen
The same thing is said about Nolan, Batman and The Justice League in every post and every time I get baffled by how rigid the thought processes of comic book fans are.
Here is how Nolan's Batman can fit in the same universe as Superman, Green Lantern and the rest of the JL:
- Batman is the first costumed superhero in this universe and there are no other heroes popping up during this time that we see in the Nolan Batman movies which covers over a decade.
- Superman is the second costumed adventurer to show up after Bruce Wayne retires as Batman and ushers in the new age of super powered heroes.
- Then people like Flash, Green Lantern (if Reynolds is used then he is the 3rd super powered hero to appear and his movie took place after the Batman trilogy and Man of Steel movies) and Wonder Woman start to show up.
- Something major happens that brings Wayne out of retirement (maybe "Robin" gets killed) and he becomes Batman again.
- Batman begins using more hi-tech gadgets to deal with the arrival of the new type of villains in the world.
- A worldwide event occurs that pulls all the different heroes together as the Justice League.
Just play Batman as the smartest dude in the room who is a bit of a distrustful dikk to the rest of the League while using his mind, physical skills and hi-tech gadgetry to battle whatever villain(s) will be in a Justice League movie and you have a through line from the Batman movies to a Justice League film.
