If there’s one thing the DC fandom has proven, it’s that we can be patient for The Reevesverse. After The Batman was beset with production pauses due to world events and The Penguin had to duel with two different Hollywood strikes, the results in both cases have been worth the wait. Now, The Batman Part II is undergoing a similar process, first with script delays and now with Matt Reeves stepping away from production due to a family matter.
Now, another director is stepping in to take over production while Reeves is occupied: Steven Soderbergh, the acclaimed director of Ocean’s Eleven and Black Bag, will oversee principal photography for the movie. But just because Reeves may not be on set for a while, that doesn’t mean this movie — or his vision — is in jeopardy.
