Ben Affleck as Batman

While we will obviously watch Ben Affleck's Batman in the soon to release Justice League, but that doesn't stop fans from knowing what is going on with the Batman solo movie. Fans were disheartened that the film was pushed to a new filming date due to Director Matt Reeves's busy schedule owing to War for the Planet of the Apes release date.

But that doesn't stop journalists from asking about the Dark Knight centered movie at any given chance. This time, Los Angeles Daily News got an opportunity to talk to the Reeves they had to ask about the DC/ Warner Bros movie. While he did not reveal any details about the movie as such, but he said something that made us go, "yaaasssss!" and proving that WB/DC have made the right decision of taking him onboard.

Since he couldn't tell much about the story or characters for obvious reasons, the director was asked why he chose to take up the Batman movie. He said, "It's a strange thing to be involved in the two franchises which were the two that I was connected to most as a child," the director told the site.

"I just was obsessed with Batman when I was a kid. What I found interesting about him as a character is that, as far a superhero goes, he's not superhuman, he is a person. And he is a tortured soul who is grappling with his past and trying to find a way to be in a world that has a lot that's wrong with it and trying to find a way to reconcile all of that," he revealed.

Director Reeves also went a step ahead and compared his upcoming movie (War for the Planet of the Apes) character Caesar to convey another important point. He said, "That is a really powerful character, in the same way that Caesar is such a powerful character."

Batman filming schedule is yet to begin as Reeves is wrapping up War for the Planet of the Apes that releases on July 14.
