There May Not Be Any News On THE BATMAN But Director Matt Reeves Remains Excited

We still haven't received an official update on what's happening with The Batman but writer/director Matt Reeves is still hard at work on the DC Comics adaptation and claims to be really excited for it...

It's been a very long time since we got an official update on The Batman but as things currently stand, Matt Reeves is writing the script and still expected to direct. Ben Affleck, meanwhile, remains attached to star and with the actor booked to appear at Fan Expo Dallas over the weekend, fans are hoping we'll get an update from him as well (it's been confirmed that he'll take part in a live Q&A at the event). 

In the meantime, a fan asked Reeves how things are going with The Batman on Twitter and received the following response. As you can see in the Tweet below, it appears as if the filmmaker remains enthusiastic about the project and is enjoying working on this solo adventure for the Caped Crusader. 


That's nice to see but if Reeves is still working on the movie's script, we're probably a long way off from seeing The Batman get a release date and Affleck's involvement obviously remains up in the air. Throw in the fact that there are conflicting reports about it being set in the DC Films Universe or a standalone adventure and it's fair to say that Reeves' remarks are unlikely to ease the minds of fans out there.

Are you still excited for The Batman? Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

@MarvelousMarty - We just have to remember that these are popcorn movies, and if they are only half as controversial as the comics, they should be great!

JL & Superman are probably done. Flashpoint is a lousy idea. Affleck has no reason to keep on as Batman in future Batman films, really, as JL & BvS were not very successful, overall. There will be future Batman and Wonder Woman films, I'm sure. The DCU does very well on TV and animation. That's probably where they should stay focused.

@jp688 - “BvS was not that successful”, it grossed almost $900 million dollars.

@superbigguy32 - And success is measured by more than just box office dollars.

Really wish this movie wasnt part of the DCEU, then i would be more excited. However, with Reeves directing i really want to see what he can do. His Planet of the Apes movies were fantastic...especially Cesar's arc...and that ending man...made me all teary eyed

Gonna be interesting to see if Affleck ends up being in this movie.

My guess is he won't be.

Had me thinking this was gonna be another lost director article and I literally almost went “phew” when I finished reading the headline.

@MarvelDCAllDay - Don't think we'll need to worry bout that here....haha. I'm certain Reeves only signed on the dotted line after making sure his say is final.

@Doomsday8888 - Radical solution: just throw a bunch of money at that Titans show and make movies out of that.

(I really hope the first trailer for that doesn't crush me. It's been quietly becoming one of my most anticipated super-things.)
