10 Ways Matt Reeves Can Reboot Batman

3. Add Some Humour

Don't let the miserable Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice tell you otherwise, Batman is almost a funny guy on occasion.

In the world of DC Comics, he's known for the occasional sarcastic quip and moment of gallows humour, often sharing light banter with Alfred.

Now, we're not suggesting Batman should be tossing around one-liners like Batarangs in the reboot, but the occasional gag would dispel the dour clouds over Gotham.

The tone should remain dark - close to pitch, in fact - but let's hope this important aspect of the character's personality is not overlooked again.

This was one of Christopher Nolan's few failings with the ultra-serious Dark Knight Trilogy and, although Zack Snyder repeated it with Batman v Superman, there are gags aplenty in the Batman-centric Justice League trailers.

None of them are funny, but it's a start.
