Search continues for ‘The Batman’ director as Matt Reeves exits talks

Breaking news overnight via THR, director Matt Reeves has stepped away from talks with Warner Bros. over ‘The Batman’.

A ‘studio source’ has confirmed to the press that around one week after entering the talks Reeves has left proceedings. The source concludes that Warner and Reeves could come back to the table once heads have cooled. In the meantime Warner Bros. will now look to one of its other options.

Before Reeves entered formal talks it was reported that Warner Bros. were also courting famed director Ridley Scott and relative newcomer Fede Alvarez. Could one of these two be back in talks now that Reeves is out?

‘The Batman’ currently has no confirmed release date.
