With
War for the Planet of the Apes out of the theaters and ready for a DVD/Blu-ray
release director Matt Reeves is focused totally on The Batman. He tossed out the
script from Ben Affleck, DC chief Geoff Johns and Argo’s Chris Terrio to write
his own film. His vision for the film will have a noir feel told from Batman’s
POV. As for a follow-up film he says it may be possible but he wants the first
film in the can before planning sequels. The Apes films weren’t planned out the
way they ended up and the story for Dawn wasn’t the story the studio wanted at
all. And for all concerned Affleck is still doing the film. Reeves recently
cleared up some confusion about him suggesting the film would not be a part of
the larger DC Extended Universe. It is. What he meant is that The Batman will
have no cameos from other heroes. |
