Matt Reeves explains turning down directing Ben Affleck's TheBatman and rebooting with Robert Pattinson as a new Dark Knight:
✖ The Batman director Matt Reeves reveals why he passed on directing Ben Affleck's"action-driven, James Bond-ian" Bat-movie for a reboot starring Robert Pattinson as a younger Dark Knight. Once attached to star in and direct The Batman movie script he co-wrote with Geoff Johns , Affleck ultimately dropped out of stepping behind the camera on the Justice League spinoff pitting his Batman against Deathstroke .
Reeves approached the Aquaman and Wonder Woman studio, telling Warners,"I said look, I think maybe I'm not the person for this. And I explained to them why I love this character. I told them that there have been so many great movies, but if I were to do this, I'd have to make it personal, so that I understood what I was going to do with it, so that I know where to put the camera, so that I know what to tell the actors, so that I know what the story should be.
Manganiello would later compare Affleck's unmade Batman movie to David Fincher's The Game, revealing to ComicBook the assassin Deathstroke"systematically dismantles Bruce's life," prompting the loner caped crusader's team-up with Batgirl.
