A Death in the Family

Since Ben Affleck has stepped down from directing the Batman reboot, we’ll have to wait until at least 2019 to see the first DCEU Dark Knight solo movie. And, as new director Matt Reeves might have implied, we’ll get to see a different version of the Caped Crusader than the one Zack Snyder presented. Does this mean that we'll have a soft reboot of the DCEU soon? We might"¦

Snyder hinted at a possible story line in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice "“ A Death in the Family. And it could work as a prequel in the DCEU, especially since it includes the most insane version of the Joker. Jared Leto's portrayal was controversial, to say the least, but he could still do wonders with the role.

And killing Jason Todd in a brutal manner fits this kind of portrayal. Just like everything after it. However, will Warner Bros. renounce the sweet money coming with the merchandise just to make a proper adaptation of a comic book story line? It’s less than likely. However, there’s hope, especially if the rumors that Matt Reeves has full control over the movie are true.

Nah"¦It won't happen. This new brutal Batman and insane Joker will still star in PG-13 movies.
