“The Batman” standalone film has found its new director.

Matt Reeves is in early talks to take over directing duties after Ben Affleck stepped down from the role in late January. Affleck will still star in and produce the Warner Bros. movie.

Sources tell Variety that the “Cloverfield” and “War for the Planet of the Apes” director has already committed to helming the superhero pic, although a deal isn’t done yet. Variety first reported that Reeves was high on the list of directors to replace Affleck, but, until recently, meetings were still being held with other


Would be a great hire. Just maybe this can be saved now

Does Zack Snyder still have any power over this movie and the entire DCEU?

If yes, no it can't be saved.

Snyder is the black hole of suck. Anything good cannot escape his event horizon.

Great news that he's involved in the franchise. I still think a lot will hinge on the sucess of Justice League. It will have to make serious money AND get good critical reception. I don't have much faith in the latter at the moment.

Just take a blank check over to Bruce Timm and beg him to reboot the entire thing.

Then take a blank check over to a competent director and beg him to direct.

Then take Warner Brothers entire Executive production studio department and ban them from the premise and the editing room.

Lots of conflicting reports right now. Last I heard, Chris Terri had touched up a script from Affleck and Johns.

Reeves is a freaking awesome director. I can't believe he didn't get one of the Star Wars movies and freaking trevorrow did

Unreal that Terrio is still involved with DC. My hope is that they wait and see the reception for JL before they choose the writer and finalize Batman. Batman v Superman was pretty bad and at this point it's all we have to judge Terrio.

ETA: I hope they give Chris McKay some involvement in the live action franchise. He'd be perfect for a Shazam movie or maybe even a Superman film.
