Batman - Watch Order: DCEU Batman Snyder Cut
The DC Extended Universe Batman featuring Ben Affleck's older, battle-hardened Dark Knight, presented through Zack Snyder's complete vision for the character's arc. This watch order replaces the theatrical Justice League with Snyder's four-hour director's cut, which provides a more cohesive and character-driven portrayal of Batman's role in forming the Justice League.
This maintains Snyder's consistent visual style and thematic approach from Batman v Superman through to the multiverse-spanning events of The Flash. The viewing experience emphasizes Batman's evolution from isolated vigilante to team leader while preserving the director's intended character development and world-building.
