WHO WILL PLAY BATMAN IN THE NEW MATT REEVES FILM?

Matt Reeves has recently spoken to The Hollywood Reporter about the new Batman film he’s planning to write and direct. Now, from what he’s said, it looks like ‘The Batman’ is going to be scheduled for release in Spring, 2021, and will feature a number of well-known villains from Batman’s Rogues Gallery, most notably, The Penguin and others of his ilk. He’s also mentioned that the story itself will be a detective based adventure shot in a film-noir style, coupled with the fact that Ben Affleck — Yes, that Ben Affleck — won’t be reprising his role as the Dark Knight. So, in order to help find a suitable replacement, my mates over at Betway, the online betting site, have set the odds on who should be the next Caped Crusader. Want to know more?
