The Batman: Matt Reeves talks about the Ben Affleck movie never made

When Ben Affleck was cast as Batman first in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and then in Justice League, long-term plans were set up by Warner Bros. which included, among other things, a stand alone film that would be co-written, directed and starring by the same actor and which, according to what unofficially leaked, he would have been influenced by the Arkham videogame trilogy and would have explored the death of Robin with Deathstroke, played by Joe Manganiello, in the role of the villain princi pale.

I read the script they had in hand at the time and it was absolutely valid, a very good interpretation of the character. She was completely action-oriented and was closely connected to the rest of the DCEU with cameos from other characters from other films and from other comic book characters. But as soon as I read it, I immediately realized that this was not the approach I would have used and I said: "Look, I'm probably not the director for you". Then I explained what I loved about the character and that there have been so many great films about the character but if I had to do it, I would have to do it my way so I could figure out what to do, how to do it, where to place the camera, what to say to the actors and what was the story we wanted to tell. That version, I said, is absolutely valid and exciting but it's not mine. It was very Bondian but it wasn't something that I felt a connection to.

The Batman, the new film dedicated to the Dark Knight

The Batman will arrive in Italian cinemas on March 3, 2022, the official synopsis offers us some important details, such as that Batman is in business for 2 years, and the role of the Riddler but not his alleged connection with Bruce Wayne as some fan theories claim:

Two years spent patrolling the streets as Batman (Robert Pattinson) , instilling fear in the hearts of criminals, they dragged Bruce Wayne into the depths of Gotham City's darkness. With few trusted allies - Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis) and Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) - amid the city's corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the only incarnation of revenge among the his fellow citizens. When a killer targets Gotham's elite with a series of evil tricks, a trail of cryptic clues pushes the world's greatest detective to investigate the slums, meeting characters like Selina Kyle aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot aka. the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro) and Edward Nashton alias the Riddler (Paul Dano). As evidence begins to bring him closer to resolution and the scope of the evildoer's plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new alliances, expose the culprit and do justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.

Here is the new Italian trailer:
