“The Batman” was one of the most watched and anticipated movies by superhero lovers, and since the middle of last April it can be seen through the HBO Max platform. Matt Reevesdirector of this film, caused a stir by announcing why he rejected the script for Ben Affleck.
The popular American actor was the main face of the DC Extended Universe. Also, after embodying the Bat Man in three tapes, he was going to write, direct and star in the new installment of Batman, but was finally rejected and is now no longer part of the famous franchise.
Jennifer Lopez’s partner had already written the script for “TheBatman” and was helped by Geoff Johns, but he had personal problems away from the world of the seventh art and refused to make the feature film. The DC authorities delivered the letter to Matt Reevesdirector of “Planet of the Apes: Confrontation”.

Reeves spoke earlier this month with The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith podcast and revealed that after reading what was done by Ben Affleck he decided to reject the project and asked to write his own. So he made a new script with his own vision of ‘The Dark Knight’.
“The film was originally going to be directed by Ben Affleck, and the script they sent me had been written by Ben, but rewritten by another very talented writer, and when I read it, I was like, ‘Oh, I get it.’ It was an independent movie Batman focused on Ben’s version of the character, but it was more action-oriented than I felt I could do,” he said.
“I didn’t connect with the film in terms of me as a filmmaker. He was very James Bond-esque; It was full of action scenes. It could have been a very exciting movie for someone else, but it was not for me”, added the director of “TheBatman”starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz.
