Matt Reeves has talked about his take being a noir-driven story that embraces Batman being the world’s greatest detective.
That sounds awesome, and if that’s what the script he turned in to WB was, it sounds like the studio likes it too.
And if Warner Bros. loves his script, hopefully that foretells a smooth working relationship that sees a true auteur-driven Batman film from the War for the Planet of the Apes director.
We have no way of knowing if WB’s opinion and Matt Reeves’ vision will line up with the tastes of fans, but given the director’s past work, there is a lot of reason to be excited.
