There's been no official update on The Batman for quite some time but we do know that Matt Reeves is currently rewriting Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns' screenplay and that he intends on directing the movie as well. What we don't know is whether or not Affleck will star in the upcoming DC Comics adaptation and that more than likely hinges on how Justice League is received by fans and critics alike.
In the meantime, Reeves has been asked on Twitter by a fan whether or not he intends on including the Batnipples made famous by Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin and as you can probably guess, they won't be making an appearance in the DC Films Universe. Is anyone really surprised that?
Probably not but it's a relief to know for sure! On a more serious note, you have to hope we'll hear something official about The Batman sooner rather than later because it wasn't that long ago we all expected it to be released next year! At this rate, 2019/2020 seems far more likely and the same goes for the Man of Steel sequel. What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts in the usual place.
