The Batman won’t be hitting theaters for a while

Late last year, The Batman was full-steam ahead with Ben Affleck directing, writing, producing and starring in the titular role. Things then took a turn for the worse with Ben Affleck dropping out as director and the whole project was left hanging in the air. Eventually Matt Reeves signed on to direct, but few details about the project have been revealed since—until now.

Initial work on The Batman is beginning to pick up steam with an anticipated release for 2019, according to Variety.

Matt Reeves has been busy finishing off War of the Planet of the Apes over the past couple months, which means he wasn’t talking much about his next project. But now that his latest movie is about to hit theaters, while earning universal acclaim, he is opening up about The Batman.

In a recent podcast interview with MTV, Reeves talked about making the next Cape Crusader movie. He won’t be using Ben Affleck’s much-talked about script, instead opting to start completely fresh.

“It’s a new story, it’s starting again,” revealed Reeves during the interview. “I’m excited about it.”
