Sam Raimi, renowned for directing Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire and later contributions to the Doctor Strange sequel, is a cinephile who appreciates both the Marvel universe and the DC lineup. In an interview with Empire Magazine, he hinted at the possibility of directing a Batman feature someday, expressing enthusiasm for the character and the world he inhabits.
At present, The Dark Knight is guided by Matt Reeves. If Raimi ever lands an opportunity to craft a standalone Batman project, it likely won’t be anytime soon, given Reeves’s ongoing work and the busy schedule of modern superhero filmmaking.
Raimi has long admitted a deep affection for Batman. He has described an instinctive reaction to the Bat signal and a readiness to respond should it ever illuminate the night sky. The voice attributed to Shadow, a creature of the shadows he imagines in his mind, is part of the myth that fuels his imagination and his respect for the Batman legend — a sentiment echoed by fans and insiders alike. VGTimes notes this enduring fascination as a driver of his creative curiosity. — Raimi
In early March, a new take on Batman arrived with Robert Pattinson starring in the title role. The film’s release schedule was adjusted in response to geopolitical events, and the film was not shown in Russia due to the broader situation unfolding in Ukraine.
