VIDEO : The Batman Will Not Deal With Robin's Death

'The Batman' will not deal with the death of Jason Todd aka Robin. The 51-year-old filmmaker Matt Reeves took over directing duties from Ben Affleck, who is due to reprise his role as The Caped Crusader, and in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' it was revealed that Batman's sidekick Robin was murdered. Now, a source has debunked the rumour and simply told The Wrap that it was "false". Originally the script was written by Affleck and DC Entertainment president Geoff Johns when Affleck was still attached to direct, but Reeves previously said he decided to rewrite the script.
