Matt Reeves replaced Ben at the helm of the upcoming DC Comics adaptation of The Batman, and he revealed that he is making the project his own by devising a new script. Ben will still star as the titular superhero. Matt recently teased that 'The Batman' will be like a film noir crime drama focusing on the superhero's detective skills. Reeves wants the latest adventures of the Caped Crusader to allow audiences to "see inside his head" and "his heart" and allow them to understand why he is known as 'The World's Greatest Detective' in the DC Comics universe. Previously discussing his decision not to direct the project, Affleck explained he stepped away from behind the camera to concentrate on giving the role of Batman the "passion" it deserves.
