Reply to comment by daab2g in Bruno Heller on the eventual (flashforward) Bruce Wayne casting in ‘Pennyworth’ — “I think we had the best Batman out there in David Mazouz. I’ll bring him back.” by RealJohnGillman

It works as a spiritual prequel, but there are some pretty big discrepancies which make it impossible for them to be in the same universe

One difference is the relationships between Lucius Fox and Alfred, with them being strangers in Gotham but meeting in Pennyworth. Likewise, how Thomas and Afred met is different too. There's also the fact that Miami is nuked in Pennyworth but still around in Gotham

To a point. Their bar scene established that they did actually know each other a bit, just not very well (anymore) — that it had been quite some time since they had last interacted — said conversation also mentioned ‘Onslow’ in Alfred recalling his past, who was later made into a character (along with his daughter) in Pennyworth. On the Alfred—Thomas meeting and Miami points, those can respectively be waved away with unreliable storytelling (some details did line up, if not how one would have expected), and there being nothing in Gotham to say that Miami wasn’t nuked then rebuilt twenty-something years previously. I could see them having there be some Gotham cameos down the line.
