Prequel or a reboot?

Would Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson want to carry on with where Snyder/Affleck left off?

I'd say a bit of both, Pattinson's obviously going to have do a different interpretation of the character and not copy Affleck, keep in mind Affleck's Batman was older and wiry and experience while Pattinson is playing a younger Batman, Reeves initally said a few years ago that it would take place in the DCEU but with no references to other characters outside of Batman's world and never had Affleck in mind once he was hired.

I think they're just going to ignore the other movies. Assuming this movie is a hit, which i'm sure it will be, we'll probably get a funny joke from Aquaman about how different Batman looks when they team up again and that'll be the end of it.

I actually think they will make so Pattinsons Batman was always with the team and had the same face.

I think it will be more of a reboot and unrelated to Afflecks Batman. I believe Afflecks Batman will be removed from canon.

I don't think Reeves and Pattinson would want to carry on from Snyder and Affleck.

Exactly, I actually think that Pattinsons Batman will be very different from Afflecks, and he will probably be the Batman that we know from the Comics (including detective work.)

That'd be dope, if Wayne slunk around and did some detective work, then only brought out the cape and mask when the situation required. I'd watch that one.

Someone like Matt Reeves would wanna do his own thing.

Zero Year or Arkhamverse inspired Batman.
