I'd assume that applies to each other's movies as well. Both Reeves and Phillips expressed a lack of desire in connecting their films to a larger universe and trying to make the stories they want to tell fit into a larger canon.As I said before, actors play different ages all the time but it's kind of bizarre to cast two actors who are roughly the same age as the same character decades apart without even trying to make the latter of the two look older.2 This could be excuses as a recast but Andy Serkis is actually a few years younger than Douglas Hodge, despite playing the same character 20-30 years apart. Alfred is played by two completely different actors in Joker and The Batman.While this is a new interpretation of the Batman mythos, I doubt they cast an actor in his early 30s (and looks younger might I add), to play a Bruce Wayne who decides to become Batman in his late 40s. Matt Reeves has said on multiple occasions that this movie is meant to be Bruce's second year as Batman. This would make Arthur's Joker 70-80 years old by the time of The Batman while Bruce would be in his late 40s to early 50s. Arthur (Joker) is meant to be in his 30s in Joker while Bruce is about 8-12. The Batman takes place in 2019 or later per this set photo of a Gotham cab and the fact that several people have smart phones. We might see a different Batman but not Robert Pattinson for several reasons: There are rumors of a Joker sequel but I doubt it will ever cross over with The Batman universe. There are some clear obstacles to this actually becoming a reality (Joker looks like it takes place in the 80s, The Batman looks like it takes place in the 2000s Phoenix’s Joker would need to have developed significantly from his introduction in the Joker film for him to be a real threat to Batman contractual obligations confusion of there being multiple DC universes, etc.), but I for one think it would make for a compelling film seeing the two square off. A sequel of The Batman featuring Pattinson going up against Phoenix was something I never knew I needed. Obviously we haven’t seen it yet, but the footage of The Batman from trailers looks incredible and I have high hopes for the film. I’m sure this isn’t an original thought, but I would LOVE to see Phoenix reprise his role as the Joker in a sequel to The Batman. The tone of that movie was dark and gritty, seemingly matching what we’ve seen from the upcoming Pattinson Batman movie. I loved Joaquin Phoenix’s interpretation of the Joker.
