The most recent update we had for The Batman was last December when director Matt Reeves revealed that he finished the story and was beginning to outline the script. Today, Reeves provided another small, but exciting update.

“Really, really well, thanks!,” Reeves told a fan who asked how The Batman was going. “I could not be more excited!”

Really, really well, thanks! I could not be more excited! 🦇 — Matt Reeves (@mattreevesLA) April 3, 2018

My guess is that Reeves will take as much time as he needs in 2018 to get his script perfect. Then he’ll be ready to shoot The Batman in 2019 for a Summer 2020 release.
