Matt Reeves has discussed how he is taking some pointers from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and use them as inspiration for his own take on the Caped Crusader, The Batman.
Whatever it is that Reeves is cooking up, it seems that both fans and Warner Bros. are onboard with his Batman vision so far.
Affleck’s casting was initially met with criticisms but fans quickly rallied behind him after his debut in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Nolan’s Batman trilogy remains a touchstone for not just the superhero genre, but the movie industry as a whole.
