Part 8/13:
The delays and creative uncertainties aren’t solely due to shifting management. Sources have indicated that Matt Reeves himself has faced health challenges, which might be delaying the movie’s development. While no official statement exists, reports suggest that this personal crisis, combined with Warner Bros.' shifting priorities and focus on Gunn’s projects, has created a perfect storm of complications.
History warns us. Ben Affleck's original plans to direct and star in his own Batman film fell apart, partly blamed on internal issues and changing studio plans. Similarly, Zack Snyder’s departure from Justice League was driven by personal tragedies. Now, Reeves’ potential health issues add to the skepticism about whether the The Batman sequel will ever see the light of day.
