Planet of the Apes veteran Matt Reeves co-wrote The Batman with Mega Man movie scribe Mattson Tomlin, and Reeves is directing as well. The movie is stacked with behind-the-scenes talent. Oscar-nominated Greig Fraser is the director of photography, while Oscar-winner Dan Lemmon is the VFX supervisor. Star Wars series sound mixer Stuart Wilson is also working on The Batman, while Oscar-winner Jacqueline Durran is the costume designer.
