The Batman
The Batmandirector Matt Reeves is pull in comparisons between his DC Extended Universe project and Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knight . The Batmanhas undergone some major change since the solo Caped Crusader movie was first herald , include starBen Affleck ’s exit from the director ’s chairand Reeves ' hiring , as well as word from Reeves that he is start up the handwriting for the film over from scrawl . Even Affleck’sdeparture from the rolehas been rumored , though both Reeves and Affleck has dismissed those title , at this stage .
Now that the dust has settled a minute from all the hoopla , Reeves is discussing the toneThe Batmanwill be hold on as his imagination for the film takes shape . In an consultation withTHRreporter Kim Masters on her podcastThe Business , Reeves said there ’s an excited way to do a story about the illustrious DC character and citedThe Dark Knightas a example that good illustrate his significance :
" The Dark Knight , which I think is an incredible movie , the thing that really resonate about that is The Joker … his story and that performance , and everything about the filmmaking that relates to that theatrical role – it ’s his ( Heath Ledger ’s ) movie . And I opine Christian Bale is great , but I remember that that movie movie really resonated with everyone because of that persona ( The Joker ) , its portraiture , and the way that the movie presented his unsettling perspective and the style that dash up against Batman . I call up I am concerned in being even more inside of Batman . "
Reeves comparison does n’t come in as a surprise seeing as he ’s acknowledged beinginfluenced by Nolan’sDark Knight Trilogybefore , with esteem to Nolan ’s serious coming to the bailiwick topic . Still , it ’s interesting to hear that the focus of Reeves ’s firstBatmanfilm , as he moves on to a trilogy of his own , will be foursquare on his own Dark Knight , rather than whichever villain comes to the stem to challenge the crucify protagonist .
The next interrogation , of course , will be how connectedThe Batmanwill be to its DC Extended Universe predecessors . Reeves also discussed with Masters how Warner Bros. sold the idea of The Batman as a " standalone " moving-picture show , but for the time being it does n’t appear as though Reeves was being genuine with his comment ( seeing asThe Batmanwas listed as part of the official DCEU slate just last month at SDCC ) .
Either path , you’re able to expect Batman to extend evolving , following his introduction from Zack Snyder inBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . As for The Joker : Warner Bros. and DC are reportedly now planning aJoker extraction movieseparate from the DCEU and possibly Ben Affleck ’s Caped Crusader ( and his man ) . So whatever ’s going on , WB / DC are intelligibly far from being done with the Dark Knight right now .
