In fact, this particular rumor even points to the possibility of Reeves signing onto the DCEU until at least 2020 — with the option to extend his contract after that.
That’s some serious progress in a very short amount of time; DC clearly realizes how important finding a new Batman director has become.
A new rumor reported by Screen Geek seems to indicate that Matt Reeves may have far more creative control over the upcoming solo Batman movie — as well as the subsequent franchise that will result from it — than we had assumed.
These rumors suggest that Reeves has “heavy” control over the casting for the film and that he may have already signed on to helm multiple Dark Knight adventures over the course of the next few years.
