According to HEROIC HOLLYWOOD, Matt Reeves’ standalone/solo Batman film will not begin production until 2019.

That likely means that scripting stage will continue through 2018, and the thing will move on to the next stage at some point next year.

If true, that means that this film won’t hit theaters until 2020 at the earliest — which is a good thingHeck, if it were up to me, I’d have it released in 2021 or 2022.  Why?  Because Batman on film needs a bit of a break.  We need to miss Batman on film again.

As far as what I’ve heard about this film, basically nothing.  I’ve heard whispers about what specific comics Reeves is looking at for inspiration, but I’ll keep that on the down and low for the time being.  I do hope that Reeves stays on board because if he were to leave, it would be, well, very not good for both Batman and DC on film.

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
