Matt Reeves Directing The Batman

[Mysteryman]

WB would probably have to empty all the money out of at least 20 banks to get Ridley Scott to do a Batman film

I'm sure it's nothing more than a wishlist.

I would love to see Alfonso Cuaron direct The Batman .

ridley has made 1 good movie in the past decade

I don't think The Martian was good. For my tastes, it was average. Not bad just average, like American Gangster.

Reeves for Batman is so great that I almost don't wanna believe it could actually be a possibility.

Same. I keep hoping to read that he's confirmed. This "in talks" stuff is driving me crazy.

 

[shauner111]

Watch, he says no, and we get friggin Brett Ratner. Affleck leaves. Ben Stiller replaces him.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I won't be opposed to Brett Ratner, I like what I saw with his name attached to it.

 

[Nardz937]

I prefer Reeves directing over him. Reeves is great with genre and seems like a guy who will see what's best about the material first yet can make it cinematic in his own personal way. Kind of like a Sam Raimi.

Honestly, I think Sam Raimi would be a great choice for a Batman movie.

*Insert joke about Batman crying and jazz-dancing here*

Looks like the search continues,

Negotiations between WB and Reeves have broken down

 

[Jonwo]

He was never signed on in the first place so it's not unusual for negotiations to break down early on as there are various factors that might weigh into a decision not to commit to a project.

I wonder if it's over money or if Reeves wanted to do changes that the creatives and execs didn't want.

Goddammit. On to the next one...

Or maybe this ends up like Keaton/Vulture and talks start up again. Either way, more waiting is just killing me.

Whoops.

The article does suggest that talks may resume once cooler heads so it may be he walking away now but willing to come back if the studio comes back with a better deal.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Oh well, you win some, and you lose some.
I hope for a win to come from this.

That would be like a modern rendition of what we got in the 90s.

Seriously... how much of a complete **** show is this thing? For a talented up and coming director to want no part of it?

****'s sake.

You guys made me think of Darkman, the first one has this indulging cheese in Peyton's attitude that the sequels did not attempt to touch.

Warner Bros is turning into the universe's most prolonged car wreck.

 

[Bats123]

just get Brett Ratner or MCG and be done with it.

 

[thebatfan5194]

Just get Zack Snyder on this thing and run it into the ground.

I love Darkman, but still an unusual choice.

 

[The Guard]

Well poo. Though this may be just posturing. If, say, Apes blows up he gets to demand more money and control. Beyond the Batman franchise, one wonders if they wanted him to do Justice League and he wasn't willing to make that commitment. Let the rampant speculation commence.

I guess you don't follow American politics.

We live in a blissful bubble.
