Reeves recently spoke to CNET about starting work on The Batman, and he said that he’s planning on using the films of Alfred Hitchcock for inspiration.
Reeves is a director who makes you care about the people in his movies, which is why he might be the best choice to direct Ben Affleck’s The Batman after Affleck himself stepped down.
That’s certainly not a bad choice, as Hitchcock movies and the original Batman comics aren’t too far away from each other tonally.
Hitchcock was a master of suspense, but also a master of character and story.
