Production
In October 2014, a Batman standalone film was announced by Warner Bros. By 2016, Ben Affleck was set to star in, produce, direct, and write the project. Affleck co-wrote the script with Geoff Johns, and Chris Terrio turned in a rewrite. The film was on track to shoot in early 2017, until Affleck stepped down as director that January. Affleck initially cited his intentions being to more specifically focus on starring as Batman, later acknowledging that after various attempts to get the script where he wanted it, it simply became "time to let someone else have a shot at it". In February 2017, Warner Bros. announced the title as The Batman and that Matt Reeves would direct and co-produce the film.[204] In July 2017, Reeves confirmed that the script was being rewritten; the final draft was completed by January 2019. Reeves reworked the story to focus on Batman earlier on in his career as a vigilante; he said the film will be character-driven and stylistically noir, and will explore the detective aspect of the character to a greater extent than previous films. In January 2019, Affleck confirmed he will not reprise his role as Batman.[209] In May 2019, Warner Bros. were considering Robert Pattinson, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Armie Hammer, Jack Reynor, Alexander Ludwig and Jack O'Connell for Batman, after which Pattinson was cast in the role.
