After Dr. Strange and Spider-Man, director Sam Rhyme dreams of Batman

On May 4, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters. This is Sam Rhyme’s fifth superhero film, after Darkman and his Spider-Man trilogy. Considering the director a specialist in the genre, whose revival he contributed to in the early 2000s, is no exaggeration. And all indications are that he is not yet tired of it.

In an interview EmpireDepicting the new Dr. Strange on the cover, the director reminds the superhero that makes him dream: “I have always loved Batman”He replies to an English magazine. “When I see the signal of the bats in the sky, I will come running.”

Currently in the hands of Matt Reeves, who was more fascinated by his reboot published in early March, Batman is not the only one who wants to capture Sam Rhyme: “If I could hear the deep laughter of the shadows, I would take a chance. The human spider would be Dr. Strange number one, but I do not want to remove him from my list.”

Missed meeting in Gotham

So maybe … if it’s already hard to imagine that a director other than Matt Reeves will take over the bat man fate, the prospect of seeing Sam Rhyme based on the DC icon is clearly appealing. And it would be, for the director, an opportunity to make up for a missed meeting in the mid-1990s when his name was mentioned as a replacement for Tim Burton in control of Batman Forever.

John McTiernan would also be in the competition, but it was Joel Schumacher who inherited the project for the result we know. After three decades, will Sam Raim complete the installation of cameras in Gotham City and join Brian Singer or James Gans among the directors who have excelled at Marvel and DC?
