Matthew George "Matt" Reeves (born April 27, 1966 in Rockville Center, New York, USA) is an American screenwriter, director, and producer. He began making movies at age eight, directing friends and using a wind-up camera. Reeves befriended filmmaker J.J. Abrams when both were 13 years old and they were making short films together. When Reeves and Abrams were 15 or 16 years old, Steven Spielberg hired them to transfer some of his own Super 8 films to videotape. Reeves began his career as a screenwriter for the films Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) and The Pallbearer (1996), the latter of which marked his feature-length directorial debut. He then transitioned into television as a director and co-creator of the drama series Felicity (1998–2002) alongside J.J. Abrams. Reeves has since directed the horror film Cloverfield (2008), the romantic horror film Let Me In (2010), and the science fiction sequels Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017). In February 2017, Warner Bros. announced that Reeves would direct The Batman (2022) by DC, starring Robert Pattinson.
In the crime-ridden heart of Gotham City, a new poison begins to spread through its streets — pure, untraceable crystal meth unlike anything the city’s underworld has ever seen. When Walter White and his partner Jesse Pinkman arrive under the invitation of Oswald Cobblepot, better known as the Penguin, the criminal ecosystem begins to shift. Operating out of a repurposed chemical plant in the Narrows, Walter applies his genius to craft the most addictive substance Gotham has ever known, while Penguin prepares to monopolize addiction itself. But Gotham’s silent guardian, Batman, quickly uncovers whispers of a new operation poisoning his city, one that threatens to dismantle what fragile order remains. As Batman delves deeper, he faces an adversary unlike the flamboyant psychopaths he’s used to — Walter White is a man of intellect and cold, deliberate evil. Using chemistry, deception, and manipulation as his weapons, Walter views Gotham not as a cesspool to clean up, but as a goldmine of desperate souls. The ensuing war between justice and obsession turns the city into a battleground of morality, where science clashes with vigilantism. As Jesse begins to question the path they’ve taken, and Penguin’s empire spirals into chaos, Batman must confront a new kind of criminal mind — one that believes he’s not a villain at all, but the only man smart enough to survive Gotham’s madness.
