The Batman: 10 Ways DC Can Make A New PERFECT Shared Universe

10. Give At Least One Film To Rian Johnson

Matt Reeves is one of the best, he really is. But if you really wanna shake things up, at least one of these movies should be handed to Rian Johnson.

The reasons for this are twofold: first off, he's not afraid to REALLY mess with the lore if he has to. By now, Johnson is most known for the masterstroke that was Star Wars: The Last Jedi, so we definitely know he loves to call established franchise laws into question - something that the Batman mythos DESPERATELY needs, which we'll get into more later on.

But what makes Johnson so talented is the fact that he shows remarkable restraint in his subversion. The good guys are still basically good and the bad guys are still basically bad, and he always remembers to tell a good story first and foremost. Which definitely keeps him from pulling a Benioff and Weiss at some point in the creative process.

The second reason is that - as Knives Out so aptly proved - he's REALLY damn good at writing mysteries, which would make him an excellent fit for the more grounded detective work-focused Reeves films. Add onto that a very similar approach and style to Reeves and you have a director who would fit seamlessly into working on the Batman universe.
