The Batman star Andy Serkis is so confident that director Matt Reeves will nail the film, he’s already declaring it will be a masterpiece.
The Batman will be a masterpiece, according to cast member Andy Serkis. The English actor plays Alfred Pennyworth in the DC Extended Universe film, which reunites him with his Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves. After suffering from pandemic-related delays, The Batman is scheduled for wide release in the US on March 4, 2022.
The DCEU is no stranger to tumultuous production histories, and this solo-outing for the Gotham City vigilante has changed significantly from its first conception. Originally, Ben Affleck was to return as Batman while also serving as writer and director, though he gradually downgraded his involvement until he officially left the project entirely in early 2019. Instead, Robert Pattinson appears as the Caped Crusader in just his second year of fighting crime, when he is forced to contend with a serial-killing version of the popular supervillain Riddler (Paul Dano).
