The Batman director Matt Reeves is expected to turn in a rewrite of the standalone film’s script by the end of the month.
Plot details for The Batman are still under wraps, though the project is rumored to be centered on a younger Caped Crusader. Reeves himself has confirmed that the film will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic.
The director turned in the initial draft of the script in September and now Heroic Hollywood editor-in-chief Umberto Gonzalez has revealed Reeves is set to deliver a rewrite of the script by the end of 2018.
