Riding high on the awesome reviews of War of the Planet of the Apes, director Matt Reeves is currently doing the whole press tour thing and, yes, the Batman movie is coming up as it’s his next project.
Firstly, before we get into the main story, Reeves has confirmed that Ben Affleck is still Bruce Wayne/Batman:

Ok, so on with the rest of the story.
Reeves has addressed the movie in a little more detail and it looks like he will really want to get at the side of Batman that we see very little of on the big screen… the Dark Knight Detective. Emphasis on Detective.
“There’s a chance to do an almost noir driven, detective version of Batman that is point-of-view driven in a very very powerful way, that will hopefully connect you to what’s going on inside of his head and inside of his heart,” Reeves says of the movie.
Whenever we at FTN think of this version of Batman we thing of Year One, Long Halloween, The Killing Joke and even Arkham Asylum and, while we love the kick-ass version of Batman, it could be something special to see the detective out on the streets stopping bad guys with his brains and not just his fists and gadgets.
What say you all?
