Matt Reeves Directing The Batman

[The Shape]

Time to change the title of this thread.

 

[The Joker]

No, it isn't. With this franchise's track record wait until he starts filming.

 

[Boom]

 

[craigaat]

From all of Reeves' films I've only seen The Pallbearer and Cloverfield, so I don't really care either way.

 

[The Shape]

Then someone might as well change all the properly named DCEU threads to remove cast/crew names, just in case anyone and everyone choose to drop out.

 

[Tra-El]

Well, well, well. Good to see the two sides come together and make The Batman official. ONWARD!

 

[Doctor Jones]

Well I'm glad to have been wrong. Let's just hope WB doesn't **** this up now.

Reeves, you're gonna have to be mother****ing Neo in this situation, because the bullets are coming for you.

You should do yourself a favor and watch Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

 

[Black Narcissus]

No, it isn't. With this franchise's track record wait until he starts filming.

And it can be changed back when he goddamn leaves the project, but until that happens, we will get a thread title change.

 

[The Joker]

I like how you said when he leaves, not if he leaves.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I like how you said when he leaves, not if he leaves.

I'm going by your logic, man.

I'm happy Reeves is doing this. But where's Affleck's name in the press release? Is it just a given that Ben is Batman (from their perspective, so they don't feel the need to include him?). Or do they not know yet. Or they know they're recasting and can't say until after Justice League?

Either way, this means Reeves may have signed for multiple films. And maybe he got his way with filming this later this year.

 

[STARMAN]

I'm happy to have Reeves.

 

[The Joker]

Smart boy.

 

[moviefreak]

Good for Reeves*. [*l bet that JMC will come back with another doomsay snippet about DCEU. lolololol]

 

[Black Narcissus]

Smart boy.

Thank ya, mastah.

Is that the James Franco one? I was put off the new ones because of the CGI apes, but I could give it a watch.

WB just clarified that Affleck is still attached.

 

[shauner111]

The sequel without Franco, craigaat.

Franco was in the first film of the new series, Rise. Dawn was part two of the trilogy. War comes out this summer, also directed by Reeves. Nothing to be put off by honestly, the CGI/motion capture in these films especially Dawn has been amazing.

 

[Filmfan93]

Lol the DCEU and its constant turmoils.

 

[Guts]

Both Rise and Dawn are great Apes movies.

 

[Robin91939]

WB just clarified that Affleck is still attached.

Link?

I see it mentioned in the Variety story, but not from a WB source, just editorialized.

-R

 

[shauner111]

Where's the source for Affleck being attached?

 

[Loki882]

Cool. If they cannot have Affleck do it himself, Matt Reeves is a REALLY good backup choice.
