Could DC Allow For Two Versions Of Batman In Its Film World?

DC Has Been Very Protective Of Batman, Will That Change?

When it comes to live-action, Batman is one of the most protected heroes of the DC world. His image is sacred, so much so that he’s seemingly barred from DC’s television shows, with only vague mentions or portrayals of Bruce Wayne up for grabs. The sole exception to date was Gotham‘s series finale, in which the hero was primarily shown in costume through quick flashes, followed by one final full look of the character. That was for a multi-season origin story, and fans only got one money shot. He wasn’t even called Batman!
