OPINION: With The Batman, Matt Reeves Should Get Weird Instead Of Following Christopher Nolan's Lead
Batman is one of the most popular comic book heroes in the world. The first Tim Burton Batman film was one of the first modern mega-blockbusters, and Christopher Nolan's arguably kickstarted the modern age of superhero movies with his super-grounded take on the Dark Knight. Now, Matt Reeves' The Batman is nearly here, and we've been promised another grounded take on the character. With such an aesthetically similar take on the character, it's hard not to feel like ol' Bats is getting stuck in a rut, though, and that Reeves is going to paint himself into the same corner that Nolan did. Grounding Batman doesn't necessarily make him more interesting, but it definitely limits him--there's a whole side of Gotham that Nolan never explored, and right now it doesn't look like Reeves will either.
