A new poster for “The Batman” will be released on March 4. Director Matt Reeves said in an interview that the film will no longer involve an origin story because audiences have seen it too many times.
At 175 minutes, the film is the second-longest of any superhero movie after Avengers 4’s 181 minutes.
Matt Reeves said: “We’ve seen it so many times (Bruce Wayne witnessing his parents being killed), so many versions, I knew we couldn’t do it again.”
Earlier, he also said that the film was influenced by the comic “Batman: Year One” and that he was inspired by the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Donald Cobain when writing the script.

“I was writing the script while listening to music, and the first act was Nirvana’s ‘Something In The Way’ (hmmm…).
This song inspired me to write a different Batman, and unlike the Christian Bale and Ben Affleck versions, my version was influenced by 1990s Grunge rock music. “
Robert Pattinson’s version of Batman like Cobain?
In Matt Reeves’ view, he didn’t want to make Bruce Wayne a playboy, and Wayne just went through a huge tragedy and became a recluse.
“So I linked him to Gus Van Sant’s Last Days (about Kurt Donald Cobain rocker Blake’s seclusion in a decaying house)”.
