Update: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves reportedly exited negotiations to helm The Batman on Friday. This follows star Ben Affleck dropping out as director last month.
The BvS star said in January, "If it doesn't come together in a way I think is really great I'm not going to do it." There are various theories about why Affleck was reluctant (negotiating tactic? franchise regret? fear of more Sad Batman memes?), but the bottom line is Warner Bros. is still going to make a solo Batman movie.
So we’ve put together a list of some filmmakers who could realistically direct The Batman. We tried to avoid super-wish fulfillment theories -- no, Steven Spielberg is not going to direct a Batman movie -- while also considering the directors' place in Hollywood and Warner Bros.' disposition towards some of them. Plus whether they make good movies or not!
