When in doubt, the filmmaker did not hesitate to explain to Total Film that the previous premise would not be possible because at the time he did not know who the Joker created by Todd Phillips.
“I was finishing the Planet of the Apes movies when I first came to Batman, in 2017. It has been five years of preparation. When I was working on the script and got into it, Joker hadn’t come out yet. I didn’t know what Joker was or what he was going to be,” he mentioned.

Likewise, Reeves pointed out that when he learned of the existence of Joker, he found many similarities with his film. “I figured out Joker once we were really into The Batman, and the fact that they were grounding things in a way that was reminiscent of things we were doing, that wasn’t planned.”
“Joker was always meant to be very independent and very specific, based on what Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips were doing. There was never really any discussion about the crossover.”
Although Matt Reeves does not consider, at the moment, a collaboration between the two DC characters, this does not rule out the idea that both filmmakers continue with more sagas of their protagonists.
