How Matt Reeves' Batman Movie Should Be Made

Matt Reeves' Batman film. Some days, it just doesn't feel like it's going to happen. With all the speculation regarding Ben Affleck's association with the project, how much of the film is still his and whether or not it would be connected to the DCEU - followed then by a period of ridiculous silence - to call this film's production temperamental would be the understatement of the year.

Exacerbating these apparent misfortunes are the wish-lists every DC fan is sure to have regarding the upcoming Batman reboot, with those on either side of the DCEU aisle torn over whether Warner Bros. have done right by the character so far, or whether they've botched him completely from Batman v Superman through to Justice League.

And while I can't do anything to assuage the fiery nature of online debate, it is possible to map out just what I'd like to see in the Caped Crusader's latest feature. For better or for worse, it's clear that the DCEU is a divisive beast of a franchise and that - no matter which way you look at it - isn't easily maintainable.

So, how should Warner Bros. go about making their latest Bat-reboot? With so many interpretations to draw from - each with their own unique tone, feel and style - Reeves et al. are spoiled for choice with what to do. Here's how they should proceed.
