Matt Reeves To Direct The Upcoming Batman Solo - Part 2

[Gamma Goliath]

Not really, not compared to other DC projects

This thread is a year and a half old.
People's perspective of "development hell" has seriously changed.

 

[Boom]

Even if we assume Reeves started development on the film right after War for the Planet of the Apes was finished, we're still not even a full year into the film's development.

 

[Jonwo]

I'm guessing it'll be a summer release, maybe June/July 2020 or June/July 2021.

I feel like I remember him saying that he was gonna take a break after war for the planet of the apes and it’s promotion.

It’s really not as bad as people are making it out to be

DC probably just announced his involvement too early. They knew he'd be taking a break, so they should have sat on the info for a while.

But they were eager to get some buzz after the DCEU turned into a giant turdfest, so they rushed to get this announcement out.

They did it to themselves.

I think they probably wanted to get the news out as quickly as possible given the drama of Ben leaving, Matt being in talks, Matt "leaving talks" happening all within two weeks.

I'm getting real tired of Reeves....

C’mon son

Kinda makes sense.

 

[thebatfan5194]

Kinda makes sense.

Also wouldn't surprise me if WB optimistically thought they'd be ready to shoot this thing in mid-late 2018, but obviously that's not the case.

Yeah, maybe there was a bit of that as well.

I'm getting real tired of Reeves....

For what reason though?

 

[HBarnill]

I'm getting real tired of Reeves....

Sorry. We don’t have any diapers left.

 

[FatRobin]

I'm getting real tired of Reeves....

Lol.

 

[terry78]

Well, the consensus is unanimous.

RUMOR: ‘The Batman’ Continuity Could Depend On Reception Of Upcoming DCEU Films

 

[Greens]

I think it's safe to say that regardless of where the coin lands, this movie won't have any ties to other movies. They may retroactively reference things from this movie but that's it. Reeves is writing this thing right now, he's not concerned with continuity.

ya pretty much what thebatfans said

Affleck quits directing Batman, internet meltdown, WB announces Reeves signing for PR damage control and calm the fans from jumping buildings.

Leave the director's chair hanging for 3-4 months? oh boy....remember Wonder Woman was coming out 3-4 months after all this drama

RUMOR: ‘The Batman’ Continuity Could Depend On Reception Of Upcoming DCEU Films

Shame about potential attempts to cross franchises, though. I hope it won't influence the aesthetic. Because if it's gonna be Snyder's batsuit lite I'll be super-pissed.

 

[thebatfan5194]

I mean Batman's solo adventures should be self contained anyways. Not sure why this is such a huge deal.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Do you guys want JK and Irons to stay? I say no, start from scratch. If they can find a way to keep Will Smith and Margot Robbie, but ditch the actors playing Joker, Batman, Croc, Gordon, and Alfred, they’ll be good

 

[The Joker]

Yeah recast. I don't think fans have made any real attachment to Irons' and Simmons' characters.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I've never been a huge fan of Jeremy Irons so I'd have no problem if they recast Alfred, same with Will Smith's Deadshot. I liked what little we saw of Simmons's Gordon. I want him to stay on.
