Director Matt Reeves is putting finishing touches on his ‘Batman’ film, finalizing pre-production before shooting begins later this month. Titled, “The Batman,” or at least for now as Reeves said earlier last week, the DC Film is set to be released on June 25th, 2021 release. We also know that Ben Affleck will not be back to play the caped crusader, tweeting back on January 30th, “ Excited for #TheBatman in Summer 2021 and to see @MattReevesLA vision come to life.”
Affleck futher elaborated on his exit earlier tonight on The Jimmy Kimmel Show:
"I tried to direct a version of it, worked with a really good screenwriter but couldn’t come up with a version," Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel. "They couldn’t crack it and so I thought it was time to let someone else take a shot at it.”
