This simply means that a lot of new characters are coming our way. This also pretty much confirms the fact that the villains in Matt Reeve’s universe can make their way to DCU. Now, the other possibility is that we might see characters such as Poison Ivy or Mr. Freeze in this series. I highly doubt that they would bring in characters from The Batman Universe because that would break the boundary between DC Elseworld and the DCU.
