The upcoming DC Prolonged Universe movie from director Matt Reeves (Daybreak of the Planet of the Apes) is the primary to function Pattinson’s model of the enduring superhero. After affected by pandemic-related delays that brought about principal pictures to take a 12 months, The Batman will launch on March 4, 2022.
The coveted position of Bruce Wayne had been solely occupied within the DCEU by Ben Affleck, who was initially set to not solely star in The Batman, however write and direct as properly. When Reeves took over, he expressed a want to discover a youthful model of the character, and Affleck left the mission in early 2019.

The discharge of Zack Snyder’s Justice League reignited appreciation for Affleck’s interpretation of the character, and that the consequences of Warner Bros. choice to desert Snyder’s imaginative and prescient for the DCEU are so apparent on this movie may create an inherent bias towards it. Nonetheless, Reeves’ monitor document and the immense expertise he is assembled in entrance of the digicam, Pattinson particularly, counsel The Batman has an actual likelihood of overcoming these reservations.
