Matt Reeves’ Batman movie “inspired” by The Dark Knight Trilogy because obviously dude
Matt Reeves has come out and said what’s obvious: he’s inspired by the Dark Knight Trilogy. But, really, who at DC isn’t? Even if it’s a reactionary, “no, we aren’t like Nolan” response, that very negative space is in of itself an inspiration. That said, Reeves clearly means he *is* inspired by the films. Is that a good thing, though? I don’t know. First blush is to respond “oh, cool”, second blush is “yeah but do something new” you know? All in all, it’s the middle of the summer and news is slow, I actually imagine this is just director-on-director masturbation. Frottage, if you will.

Zack Snyder Teases Batman Fight Scene From ‘Justice League’
Well. Ben Affleck may or may not be wanting out of the role of The Batman, but that ain’t concerning to Zack Snyder. The director took the time today to tease a fight scene from Justice League featuring the masked vigilante flying rodent guy.
