VIDEO : Talks To Direct 'The Batman' Halt Between Matt Reeves, Warner Bros.

Talks have reportedly broken down between Warner Bros. and director Matt Reeves over the new Batman movie. The 50-year-old screenwriter was in discussions with the studio about directing the much-anticipated standalone superhero film, after Ben Affleck stepped down from the role in January. Reeves is currently in post-production for 'War for the Planet of the Apes," but a source said the talks to direct the Batman film could resume again.
