The Batman Finds Its New Director

It seemed after Ben Affleck dropped out as director for the upcoming film, The Batman that there was no hope left for the film. However, it has now been reported that there is hope, and hope is in the name of Matt Reeves.

Matt Reeves is in early talks to take over directing duties after Ben Affleck stepped down from the role at the end of January, although Affleck will still star in and produce the film.

Although a deal isn’t signed, the Cloverfield and War for the Planet of the Apes director has already committed to helming the superhero pic.
