Why The Batman Director Didn't Want to Make Ben Affleck's Solo Movie – IGN The Fix: Entertainment
Director of The Batman, Matt Reeves, recently revealed he passed on directing Ben Affleck's solo Batman film. Speaking with Esquire Middle East, The Batman director explained why he wasn't into the overall idea laid out for Affleck's Dark Knight. That script Matt Reeves mentioned in the interview was actually penned by Affleck himself, along with co-writer Geoff Johns. The main reason behind Matt Reeves turning down that particular script was because he wanted to tell the story of Batman in a more personal way, and have overall control on the direction of the narrative. Fortunately he was still able to win Warner Bros. over and moved forward with his very own vision of the Dark Knight, with Robert Pattinson cast in the leading role in #TheBatman. In other DC news, James Gunn's Peacemaker is still going strong on HBO Max in its first season, and the Suicide Squad director is already thinking of another spin-off series. And finally, in a rather cryptic video message posted to social media, actor in the upcoming The Flash movie, Ezra Miller, went after members of a KKK chapter in North Carolina.
