Vi ved nu at Ben Affleck ikke skal spille Batman i den kommende Matt Reeves-film, og vi ved at den får premiere d. 25 juni 2021. Men hvilken slags film bliver det egentlig? Ja, det ved vi endelig mere om takket være udtalelse fra instruktøren selv.
I et stort interview med The Hollywood Reporter fortæller Reeves nemlig, at dette bliver en mørk, noir-inspireret krimifortolkning af Batman.
"What's exciting about Batman is how it relates to now and also how personal it can be. It's very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale. It's told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it's going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It's more Batman in his detective mode than we've seen in the films. The comics have a history of that.
"He's supposed to be the world's greatest detective, and that's not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been. I'd love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it's going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation."
Reeves afslører ydermere, at der vil være et "Rogues Gallery", altså et udvalg af skurke som dukker op i filmen - om de så allesammen er primære antagonister vides ikke.
