'The Batman' Is Coming Together

Warner Brothers and DC Comics is working to reboot Bruce Wayne yet again with The Batman. Directed by Planet of the Apes' Matt Reeves, The Batman will be an all new take on Gotham's protector, starring Robert Pattinson as the titular hero.

This take on Batman will be a separate entity from Ben Affleck's latest iteration of the iconic superhero.
