Matt Reeves, the writer and director of The Batman, has shot down speculation about an explicit R-rated cut.
The forthcoming reboot, starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz, has been described as a “gritty” and “edgy” reimagining of the popular superhero – prompting fans to speculate that an explicit R-rated cut could be on the cards.
The filmmaker assured fans that speculation about a prospective #ReevesCut was entirely false.
He added that some of his influences did, however, include R-rated classics such as Taxi Driver, Chinatown, and The French Connection,in an interview with Moviemaker Magazine.
