Plot details for The Batman are under wraps, though the project has been rumored to be centered on a younger Caped Crusader, leaving hope for Armie Hammer. The Penguin will be featured as an antagonist in the film along with an unknown rogues gallery of villains. While DC is set to restart Batman’s story on the big screen, Matt Reeves has confirmed that The Batman will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic. Unfortunately for fans of Ben Affleck, the actor has confirmed he will not be returning to reprise his role for Matt Reeves’ standalone film.
Matt Reeves delivered the latest draft revision of the script to the studio earlier this month, though details on the new draft are unknown. After submitting the first draft of the script in September, Matt Reeves turned in the first rewrite in December, which is rumored to have injected more action into the standalone film, however, this has yet to be confirmed. The film is reportedly targeting the month of November to begin filming.
