Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

I haven't seen much of his work, however everyone on Reddit (Usually a negative, DCEU hating place) seems to love the idea. So, I'm game.

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

He's one of the best with CGI probably even better than Snyder so that area is taken care off. I haven't seen a film of his but I hear Cloverfield and War of the Planet of the Apes is excellent both CGI wise and story wise.

Great choice by WB I just hope they actually stick to their mantra these days which is "fun", they stopped using "director driven" after BvS.

I don't follow.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

This is a good choice, his past work is solid.


Hopefully WB doesn't screw this one up again.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Come on... haven't you seen any of the Ape Movies ?? After the release of War of the Planet of Apes they will go down in history as one of the best sci-fi action trilogies

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

I saw the first Ape movie years ago, I fell asleep. Not because of the movie, but because I was two days behind on sleep to start with. 😴 When the new one comes out I'll binge the first two and then head to the cinema and see the third.

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

I've seen Cloverfield and Dawn of the planet of the apes, both were really good. I think Ben and Batman are in good hands. I just hope he doesn't drop it because the studio doesn't let him do what he wants.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Cool. Maybe he can bring someone over from the Apes movies like Jason Clarke or Woody Harrelson.

The Emperor has no clothes.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

50/50 on this. I like the Ape movies but apart from that he hasnt had much experience. I prefer Affleck...oh well...

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Why do you prefer Affleck? I remember you saying that "The Town" wasn't that great and "Argo" boring. I'm not sure of your opinion on "Gone Baby Gone", however you never sounded imprest with him in the first place. Hence i'm curious as to why.

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Ive never watched Argo. I said The Town was boring. Gone baby gone was excellent. He has had a lot of experience in the business as an actor

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Oops, got the two confused. Still can't get over your opinion on "The Town". It feels personal for some reason. That's how much I love that movie. 😰 Sure he's had experience as an actor, however that doesn't make him a better director. Saying that you don't need to tell me twice. Affleck filming a Batmobile car chase would be ******* epic!

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

what i mean is that he would know the ins and out of Hollywood and movies in general. You start to get a feel for what needs to be done. Which reminds me I still need to watch the rest of his newest movie, Live by night. While with the other guy...

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Don't watch "Live by Night" yet. Warner had him cut the movie from three hours to two and it's evident. Apparently, though he will be releasing the director's cut, as he did with Argo and The Town. I read the book prior to seeing it; they had him cut some very important characters. I know this as they were cast and were seen on set. *beep* Warner piss me off. All I'm saying is wait for the potential directors cut.

Still it's not horrible, just lacking.

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Didnt know there were director's cuts for Argo or The Town, not sure which version of the Town i watched now. Thanks for the tip, from what ive watched so far it's not impressive. Yeah Warner...much left to be desired in recent years...they need to stop micro-managing. You hired those people for a reason, let them do their job or dont hire them in the first place. Or it could be incompetency from upper management





Do you mind if I have a piece of your thigh? It would complement this fine '76 Shiraz

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

It's funny; Dennis Lehane, the author, often is honest about his thoughts on the scripts sent to him. With "Live by Night", he said what Ben had done, was a stroke of genius. The movie was never going to make a lot of money, even if it had good word of mouth, so cutting it down for commercial success was a stupid idea. Affleck should soldier into Warners head office, with his Batfleck gear on and knock some sense into them.

Why do you say that? Just look at La La Land.

I really dont know about Warner anymore...it's either politics gone seriously wrong or incompetence (micro management branches off from there)

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!


Just look at La La Land.

La La Land is a feel-good, romance musical with beloved stars. Live by Night is a movie about rum trading and revenge, with stars that have a little pull or none at all. Gosling has more draw than Affleck as an actor. Emma Stone has more draw than Sienna Miller. The movie would also run for an extra hour and is dialogue heavy. Those who think gangster films done right are full of action are usually mistaken.

Either way; they certainly have suffered a large fall from grace in the last half a decade.

Wrong, just look at Paranormal Activity or any other movie that was successful really.

Absolutely right, take the Godfather trilogy for example.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Not wrong. Horror in itself is a niche genre. Are you saying Affleck as an actor has more pull then Gosling? Are you saying that couples would rather see a dialogue-heavy movie about rum-running? This was my most anticipated movie for over a year; prior to its release, several months prior, I predicted it would make a loss. Perhaps with good word of mouth it may have made an extra 15 million. It still would have lost over 50 million.

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

It doesnt matter those are just bonuses that can make a movie more profitable. If a movie is good, people will talk and more people will see it





Do you mind if I have a piece of your thigh? It would complement this fine '76 Shiraz

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

You're being stubborn. Most people don't look to what the critics say, they make up their own mind, this movie was never going to make a lot of money. No one (Pretty much no one) went to the first limited release. That was the day reviews came out. The movie was always going to make a loss.

I followed this movie for five years. I know. 😄

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

I dont think you understand what Im saying. Cause and effect, it's simple really. If people really like it, the word will be everywhere from critics, media to the audience alike





Do you mind if I have a piece of your thigh? It would complement this fine '76 Shiraz

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. No one showed up in the first place. The movie had a limited release of two days in certain states of America, prior to the critical consensus being released, and no one showed. Very few people did. The movie actually sat well with audiences, like "The Accountant", many think critics were too harsh.

This is heaven. Right here. We're in it now.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Ok i guess we should agree to disagree then

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

Thanks for sharing that with us. I am hoping this movie turns out to be good. I couldn't figure out why the name, Matt Reeves sounded familiar so I just looked him up and found out he was the co-creator of 'Felicity' with JJ Abrams. 😃

He also wrote and directed one of the most unique vampire films of all time, "Let Me In".

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

I hope he knows what he's getting himself into. Just look at all the shιt Goyer, Snyder and Ayer have went through.

Re: Matt Reeves will direct "The Batman"!!

I'm scared for Patty Jenkins. Even if Wonder Woman is a hit, you know a certain group of people will verbally attack her.
