Shit, if he actually follows through on that, this might be the best Batman movie.

Neat.
I hope his movie delivers on that. And I hope Deathstroke isn't the villain. Go weird with it. Gimme Hugo Strange, Mad Hatter, Firefly, or Calendar Man.

I would love for Reeves to be the the first live-action Batman director to actually implement the Detective part instead of just paying it lip service.
I have a good feeling about his take, he hasn't really let me down yet.
That too, just jumping into a room and doing a quick once over really doesn't count.

Honestly, I feel like this should be a prequel or something and not have Ben Affleck in the role. His Batman just doesn't scream "detective" to me.

One more fresh rated film in the DCEU confirmed!
Oh yeah, the part of the thread where people pointlessly shit on others for having different opinions. Always love how this bullshit is just around the corner of every superhero thread.
That might have something to do with the fact that Battfleck was obsessed with Superman for a year and never bothered to find out his secret identity or any of his family history.

Lmfao, you lot are something else.
Sounds great though, can't wait. Reeves is incredible.
There is TOTALLY room for Deathstroke in a noir-esque story. Maybe not as the main badguy but he could easily, more easily than most other Batman villains, fit the classic noir trope of "the muscle." Have Deathstroke as the physical threat, with someone like Hugo Strange as the man behind-the-scenes, pulling the strings.

I trust Matt Reeves. Not convinced he can surpass the first two in the Nolan trilogy, but I'm totally psyched to see what he does with this.

Sounds good. Hopefully WB doesn't meddle and fuck it up.

Reeves seems like a great choice for the movie. I have high hopes he can make a good one.

A Noir driven style Batman. Sign me up that would be amazing.

This sounds awesome. He's done incredibly well with the Apes, and if he delivers on this angle of Batman's character, I can't say no to that.

Thanks for the reminder that Batman villains suck lol
I must be living in some alternate reality where The Dark Knight Rises is considered to be a bad Batman film.
Yep. That sounds like Batman. That's why this character has been so consistently compelling and has been around so long. There are so many interesting sides to the character.
I know some disliked the Nolan films because he didn't emphasize the detective side of Wayne very much but I feel they're a great addition to the Batman legacy that explored other facets of the character. It's nice to hear fans of the detective side may get what they want now.

Yep. There are too many cooks standing between Reeves and the finished broth.
That said, it's always been weird to me that comic book movies don't use more voiceover. I know film school kids these days are taught not to write it, but it would be such an intelligent, knowing use of the form. Especially for a Batman movie, where you're inhabiting a film noir tradition and sort of interpreting the omniscient narrative bubbles that shape the comics so often. Plus they would simply let us hear how smart and perceptive Batman is.

No, just the one true universe. That movie sucks.

It's not bad but I don't know if I can call it anything better than okay. It's got such an incredibly phoned in script.

Sounds good until WB crushes his vision..
Batman Returns certainly isn't a good Batman movie, and I'd argue not a good movie period.
