Following yesterday’s reveal of the brand-new bat-signal that will emblazon Bruce Wayne’s chest inThe Batman, followed by a look at the official logo and a new poster from acclaimed artist Jim Lee, comes the news that director Matt Reeves' take on the Dark Knight will soon return to filming. Following a delay of around five months, it is now being reported thatThe Batmanwill go back in front of the cameras again as soon as early September.
The movie was about seven weeks into filming when global circumstances forced production to come to a halt, but thankfully, according to several mysterious insiders,The Batmanwillresume shooting in early Septemberin the U.K. at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. Should this turn out to be true, it is a hopeful timeline, and should ensure thatThe Batman’salready once adjusted release date of October next year does not to be delayed again.
Though there are currently very few specific details regarding the plot ofThe Batman, Reeves did reveal some time ago that the movie will be a noir-driven story that highlights Bruce Wayne’s detective skills, which have rarely been featured in past movies. What we do know about the story so far is thatThe Batmanwill take place around two years into the eponymousprotagonist’s crime-fighting career. It’s also been strongly indicated that the story is inspired by the fan-favorite graphic novelThe Long Halloween, which saw Batman tracking down a serial killer and running into many of his iconic adversaries along the way.
Reeves' co-writer Mattson Tomlin recently divulged a few more details regarding the upcoming comic book movie, and how it will be different from previous incarnations of theCaped Crusader. “It’s tough to talk about, just because you want the movie to speak for itself. However, he’s still willing to talk in broad terms about how this version of the Dark Knight will be different from ones we’ve seen on screen in recent years. Both Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, which starred Ben Affleck in the cape and cowl, focused on an older, more experienced Dark Knight, but that isn’t the case for The Batman, which features Pattinson as a Bruce Wayne who is only just beginning his career as Batman. It’s the early days. I think that, first of all, it’s a younger version than the most recent versions that we’ve seen.”
Tomlin then revealed what the focal emotional point of the movie will be saying, “I think that Matt Reeves as a filmmaker, if you look at any of his work, whether or not it’s Let Me In or Cloverfield or the Planet of the Apes movies, he’s always coming from a point of emotion, it’s never the big action thing. It’s always, what is this character’s soul?”
