The creator of the new DC Universe addresses whether Batman and Superman have already met. David Corenswet's Man of Steel and the DCU's Dark Knight have already briefly appeared in the same project, though in animated form as cameos in James Gunn's Creature Commandos, the first project of the new DC Universe. As for live-action, Batman has a movie confirmed.

However, Superman will reach the big screen before him, with Gunn's Superman movie flying into theaters in just one week. Batman is not expected to make a surprise appearance in the film, as DC Studios is not even close to casting the new Bruce Wayne. At the moment, the studio's Dark Knight focus is on Matt Reeves' The Batman sequel.
Speaking with ExtraTV, James Gunn revealed he had not read Matt Reeves' The Batman - Part II script and teased how David Corenswet's Superman would react to meeting Batman.
While the script for Robert Pattinson's Batman sequel is finished, Gunn has yet to read it. As for Corenswet's Clark Kent meeting the DCU Batman, which all signs point to not being Pattinson, the Superman movie director teased that Batman and Superman might have already met, saying, "We don’t know he hasn’t already seen a man dressed as a bat."
I think the way the DCU is setting up the world to feel lived-in with Creature Commandos, Superman, and the rest of its first projects is exciting. As Corenswet's Clark Kent has been Superman for a few years before we first see him, it would make sense for him and Batman to have already met.
Given how Batman's The Brave and the Bold movie will include Damian Wayne and other Bat-Family members, he has been active for a while. I believe Batman's detective nature would mean he has already checked out Superman to see if he is a threat. I hope the DCU shows their first meeting, even if it has already happened.
