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 heart of Gotham City, tragedy strikes as Batman is brutally murdered during a routine patrol, leaving the city in a state of shock and peril. Faced with the loss of their mentor and protector, the former allies-turned-vigilantes—Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and the conflicted Harvey Dent—must set aside their differences and band together to unearth the truth behind Batman's untimely demise. As chaos threatens to consume the streets of Gotham, the team embarks on a relentless quest, navigating through the city's seedy underbelly, facing old foes, and uncovering a sinister conspiracy orchestrated by a mysterious adversary determined to dismantle everything the Dark Knight stood for. United by their shared commitment to justice and burdened by the weight of Batman's legacy, the Gotham Knights embark on a perilous journey, clashing with their inner demons and external adversaries. With time ticking away and the city teetering on the edge of collapse, they must race against the clock to find Batman's killer before Gotham plunges into darkness permanently.
