While neither Jenkins nor Reeves were the first directors attached to their respective projects, the fan community has rallied behind both.
For his part, Reeves reportedly experienced a tense negotiation period that ultimately saw the filmmaker secure creative control over The Batman.
When Warner Bros. began moving forward with the DC Extended Universe, the studio brought many talented directors into the fold.
Outside of just Jenkins and Reeves’ involvement, James Wan (Aquaman), Chris McKay (Nightwing), and David F. Sandberg (Shazam!) are all talented directors attached to equally intriguing projects.
