As we know, much of the details about the upcoming The Batman movie by Matt Reeves has been kept under wraps.
But the plot has been revealed, at least according to well-known insider, Daniel Richtman.
According to Daniel, The Batman will take on a detective-driven angle.
“The Batman will explore a detective case – when people start dying in strange ways,” he said. “Batman must go deep into dark world of Gotham to find clues and solve the mystery/conspiracy connected to Gotham City’s history and criminals.”
“In the film, all of Batman Rogues Gallery are already out there and active, similar to the comics and animated shows/movies,” Daniel added. “The film will have multiple villains, as they are all suspects.”
Previously the director had told the media that The Batman would focus on a younger Batman but will not be based on the origin tale Year One or “any particular (comic book).”
“Year One is one of the many comic books that I love,” Matt said back in 2018. “We are definitely not doing Year One.”
“It’s just exciting to be focused very specifically on a tale that is defining for him and very personal to him,” Matt added. “Obviously we’re not doing an origin tale or anything like that. We’re doing a story that is definitively Batman though, and trying to tell a story that’s emotional and yet is really about him being the world’s greatest detective and all the things that for me, since I was a kid, made me love Batman.”
Fans can expect a “noir-driven definitive Batman story,” that’s rooted in the seedy streets of Gotham City. DC fans can expect “more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films.”
“The comics have a history of that,” the director said to The Hollywood Reporter back in January. “He’s supposed to be the world’s greatest detective, and that’s not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been. I’d love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it’s going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation.”
