New Batman Director Shares His Take on the DC Hero
The Batman director Matt Reeves has hinted at what viewers can expect from his take on the Dark Knight.
In an interview with Los Angeles Daily News, Reeves explained that Batman was one of the two franchises he was most connected to as a child because he was fascinated with Batman's mortality and dark past. "What I find so interesting about him as a character is that, as far a superhero goes, he's not superhuman, he is a person," he said.
Reeves also discussed the struggles Batman must face in trying to make the world a better place, adding that "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."

Writers Guild Strike Averted After Late Agreement
Minutes after the Writers Guild of America's deadline, a deal has been made to avoid an industry-wide writers' walkout today.
Variety reports that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached a "tentative agreement" with the WGA just after the midnight cut-off.
The agreement will increase minimums for writers, improve contributions to health plans, better define the maximum amount of work allowed for an episode fee on short TV seasons, ensure job protection during parental leave, and increase residuals.
“Did we get everything we wanted? No." reads a WGA memo, "Everything we deserve? Certainly not. But because we had the near-unanimous backing of you and your fellow writers, we were able to achieve a deal that will net this Guild’s members $130 million more, over the life of the contract, than the pattern we were expected to accept."
