‘The Batman’ Director Matt Reeves Dives Into Gotham’s Corrupt Heart

The Batman hits theaters on Friday, sending Robert Pattinson on a moody adventure as the Dark Knight detective. The film is directed by Matt Reeves, whose task was to come up with a fresh take on Batman after many previous movies. So he turned to the noir roots of the comic and classic movies to craft a chilling, apocalyptic movie that’s more serial killer chiller than superhero adventure.
