Initial Length of Matt Reeves: ‘The Batman’ Script Revealed

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14670″ img_size=”800×600″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]I’ve always wanted to write like The Batman director Matt Reeves. Now, judging from the length of his initial script for his version of Batman, I might actually have accomplished it. The Hollywood Reporter recently reported that Reeves first run at The Batman script was 160 pages long. That is a LOT of Batman story. Considering my predilection to be very verbose in my writing, even I might have a problem writing THAT many pages. Ok, that’s not true but for a script, that is quite a bit of pages.

Of course, Reeves is already hard at work revising his script and paring it down to tighten its story. As a matter of creation, it is easier to reduce than it is to expand. That is just my opinion and with a release date now out for the film, Reeves no doubt is fine-tuning his prose for maximum effect.

When all is said and done, how long do you think The Batman will end up being? Share your writing expertise with us at GVNation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
