When Ben Affleck stepped back from directing The Batman, we knew changes were coming. Turns out those changes are total. In a new interview, director Matt Reeves confirmed what many had long suspected. He won’t be using the original script Affleck was working on with DC’s Geoff Johns.
“No [we won’t be using that], it’s a new story,” Reeves said on MTV’s Happy Sad Confused podcast. “It’s just starting again. I’m excited about it. I think it’s going to be really cool.”

Earlier this year, Forbes reported the script would “undergo substantial changes and possible/probably another full rewrite,” but this is the first time someone directly involved has confirmed that. So does that mean Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke is no longer the villain? It’s unclear. All Reeves would say is that it has a noir quality, and that he hopes to really get into the psychology of the character.
We may hear more about The Batman next week when Warner Bros. brings the Justice League and Aquaman casts to San Diego Comic-Con. But until then, the film doesn’t even have a release date.
We contacted Warner Bros. for possible clarification but have not yet heard back.

Matt Reeves is gearing up to begin work on The Batman, and it looks like he plans on starting from scratch. Reeves has been preoccupied with his latest film, War for the Planet of the Apes, which hits theaters this weekend, so he hasn't had time to really dig into his upcoming DC Extended Universe movie -- and that's because he didn't officially board the project until just a few months ago.
Virtual serial ports emulator x64 cracked. After making his debut as Batman in Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice last year, Ben Affleck signed on to write and direct his own standalone Batman film, which he was co-writing with DC Films head honcho Geoff Johns. Then, back in January, Affleck suddenly stepped down from his directing duties and left the director's chair open for Reeves to step in. Despite rumors suggesting that Affleck will be recast as Batman following his appearance in Snyder's Justice League later this year, he is scheduled to reprise his role in Reeves' upcoming film, though it looks like the story that he wrote with Johns will no longer be used.
Reeves has continually stated that he hasn't had any time to work on The Batman because he's been busy finishing and promoting War for the Planet of the Apes. However, now that he has time, people have been wondering if he plans on retooling the script that Affleck and Johns wrote, or if he's going to want to start from scratch and create his own story. It turns out, Reeves is going with the latter. In a recent chat on MTV's Happy Sad Confused podcast, Reeves revealed that he's going to back to the beginning with The Batman.
“It’s a new story; it’s just starting again. I’m excited about it. I think it’s going to be really cool.”
Interestingly, working off pre-written scripts and trying to adhere to an established formula is something that has become increasingly more common, and it's not something that every director is comfortable with doing. Edgar Wright infamously left Ant-Man after working on the film for several years because Marvel Studios started tweaking the script without his involvement. So, it's understandable for Reeves to want to start over from scratch, considering that his work on past films -- namely, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes -- established personal connections to the characters and stories.
Aside from the fact that Reeves is directing the movie and Affleck is starring in it, there's not much we know about The Batman. Since the filmmaker plans on rewriting the story, that begs the question, what will become of Joe Manganiello, who was previously confirmed to be playing Deathstroke in the upcoming film? After all, Affleck even teased the supervillain last year. We should find out more about the movie as we get closer to Justice League later this year, and perhaps even during Warner Bros.' panel at San Diego Comic-Con later this month.

Vera Mindy Chokalingam[1] (born June 24, 1979),[1] known professionally as Mindy Kaling, is an American actress, comedian, writer, and producer. From 2005 to 2013, she played Kelly Kapoor in the NBC sitcom The Office. In addition to acting in it, she was a writer, executive producer, and occasional director.[2] Recognition for her work on The Office include a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series in 2010.
Kaling gained wider attention for creating, writing, producing and starring in the Fox/Hulu comedy series The Mindy Project (2012–2017). She was the co-creator, writer, and producer of the NBC sitcom Champions (2018), in which she also had a recurring role.[3] Kaling's film career includes voice work in the films Despicable Me (2010), Wreck It Ralph (2012), and Inside Out (2015); and starring roles in the comedy The Night Before (2015), the fantasy adventure A Wrinkle in Time, the heist-comedy Ocean's 8 (both 2018), and the comedy Late Night (2019).
In addition to her work in film and television, Kaling has written two New York Times best-sellingmemoirs, titled Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) (2011) and Why Not Me? (2015).[4]

Early life[edit]
Vera Mindy Chokalingam was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to father Avu Chokalingam, an architect, and mother Swati Chokalingam, an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN).[5][6] Kaling's parents are from India,[7] and met while working at the same hospital in Nigeria. Her father, of Tamil heritage,[8][9] was overseeing the building of a wing of the hospital, and her mother, a Bengali,[8][9] was working as an OB/GYN.[10]
The family immigrated to the United States in 1979, the same year Kaling was born.[2] Kaling's mother died of pancreatic cancer in 2012.[11][12][13] Kaling has one sibling, a brother, Vijay Jojo Chokal-Ingam, who works as an educational consultant.
Kaling has said she has never been called Vera, her first name,[14] but has been referred to as Mindy since her mother was pregnant with her while her parents were living in Nigeria. They were already planning to move to the United States and wanted, Kaling said, a 'cute American name' for their daughter, and liked the name Mindy from the TV show Mork & Mindy. The name Vera is, according to Kaling, the name of the 'incarnation of a Hindu goddess.'[14] Kaling graduated from Buckingham Browne & Nichols, a private school in Cambridge, in 1997. The following year, she entered Dartmouth College, where she was a member of the improvisational comedy troupe The Dog Day Players and the a cappella group The Rockapellas, was the creator of the comic strip Badly Drawn Girl in The Dartmouth (the college's daily newspaper), and was a writer for the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern (the college's humor magazine).[citation needed]
Kaling graduated from Dartmouth in 2001[15] with a bachelor's degree in playwriting.[16] She was a classics major for much of college and studied Latin, a subject she has been learning since the seventh grade.[10]
Career[edit]
While a 19-year-old sophomore at Dartmouth, Kaling was an intern on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[17] Kaling said she was a terrible intern, 'less of a 'make copies' intern and more of a 'stalk Conan' intern.'[17] Kaling has said that she never saw a family like hers on TV, which gave her a dual perspective she uses in her writing.[18] She thinks the 'everyone against me mentality' is what she learned as a child of immigrants.[18] She named her Mindy Project character Mindy Lahiri after author Jhumpa Lahiri.[19]
After college, Kaling moved to Brooklyn, New York.[2] Kaling said one of her worst job experiences was as a production assistant for three months on the Crossing Over With John Edward psychic show.[14] She described it as 'depressing.'[20] During this same time, Kaling performed stand-up comedy.[18]
Kaling devised her stage name after discovering while doing stand-up comedy that emcees would have trouble pronouncing her last name, Chokalingam, and sometimes made jokes about it.[18] She toured solo as well as with Craig Robinson before he was on The Office.[10]
In August 2002, Kaling portrayed Ben Affleck in an off-Broadway play called Matt & Ben,[21] which she co-wrote with her best friend from college, Brenda Withers—who played Matt Damon. The play was named one of Time magazine's 'Top Ten Theatrical Events of The Year' and was 'a surprise hit' at the 2002 New York International Fringe Festival.[2] Initially, Withers and Kaling had, 'for their own entertainment, mockingly pretended to be the best friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck; that pretending spawned Matt & Ben, the goofy play that reimagined how Damon and Affleck came to write the movie Good Will Hunting.'[2]
Kaling wrote a blog, Things I've Bought That I Love,[2] which reemerged on her website on September 29, 2011.[22] The blog was written under the name Mindy Ephron, 'a name Kaling chose because she was amused by the idea of her 20-something Indian-American self as a long-lost Ephron sister.'[2]
The Office[edit]
In 2004, when The Office producer Greg Daniels was working to adapt The Office from the BBC TV series of the same name, he hired Kaling as a writer-performer after reading a spec script she wrote. He said, 'She's very original .. If anything feels phony or lazy or passé, she’ll pounce on it.'[2]
When Kaling joined The Office, she was 24 years old and was the only woman on a staff of eight.[2] She took on the role of character Kelly Kapoor, debuting in the series’s second episode, 'Diversity Day.'[16]
In a 2007 interview with The A.V. Club, she stated that Kelly is 'an exaggerated version of what I think the upper-level writers believe my personality is.'[20]
Kaling directed The Office webisode The 3rd Floor.[23] She directed the Season 6 episode titled 'Body Language,' which marked her television directorial debut. Her contract was set to expire at the end of Season 7. On September 15, 2011, she signed a new contract to stay with the show for Season 8 and was promoted to full executive producer.[24] Her Universal Television contract included a development deal for a new show (eventually titled The Mindy Project), in which she appears as an actress and contributes as a writer.[2]
Kaling and her fellow writers and producers of The Office were nominated five consecutive times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. In 2010, she received a nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series with Daniels for the episode, 'Niagara.'[25]
The Mindy Project[edit]
In 2012, Kaling pitched a single-camera comedy[26] to Fox called The Mindy Project, which Kaling wrote and produced.[27] Fox began airing the series in 2012.
Kaling notes that she is sometimes described as a pioneer, as there are not yet very many Indian-American women on television.[28] Fox canceled the series in May 2015 but it was later picked up by Hulu for a 26-episode fourth season and a 16-episode fifth season. In March 2017, Kaling announced that the show's sixth season, which would air starting September 2017, would be the last.[29] The series concluded on November 14, 2017.
Other work[edit]
Acting[edit]
Kaling's TV appearances include a 2005 episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, playing Richard Lewis's assistant. She is featured on the CD Comedy Death-Ray and guest-wrote parts of an episode of Saturday Night Live in April 2006.[16][20]
After her film debut in The 40-Year-Old Virgin with Steve Carell, Kaling appeared in the film Unaccompanied Minors as a waitress. In 2007, she held a small part in License to Wed starring fellow The Office actors John Krasinski, Angela Kinsey, and Brian Baumgartner. Kaling starred in the 2009 film Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian as a SmithsonianNational Air and Space Museum tour guide and voiced Taffyta Muttonfudge in Disney's animated comedy film Wreck-It Ralph and Disgust in Pixar's 2015 film Inside Out. In 2011, she played the role of Shira, a doctor who is a roommate and colleague of the main character Emma (played by Natalie Portman) in No Strings Attached. Kaling also made an appearance as Vanetha in The Five-Year Engagement in 2012.
In 2017, NBC ordered Champions, where Kaling is a co-creator, writer, and producer.[3] She had a reoccurring guest role on the show, which premiered Thursday, March 8, 2018 on NBC.[30] It was cancelled after one season.
In 2018, she played Mrs. Who in A Wrinkle in Time, the live-action Disney adaptation of the novel, and starred alongside Helena Bonham Carter, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Rihanna in Ocean's 8, the all-female version of Ocean's Eleven.[31]
Writing[edit]
In 2011, Kaling published a memoir, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), which appeared on the New York Times best-seller list.[32] Her second book, Why Not Me?, covers the many events that have happened in her life since 2011, and was published on September 15, 2015. Why Not Me? launched at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list.[33]
Personal life[edit]
Kaling has a close friendship with B. J. Novak, whom she met through writing for The Office. The two dated on and off while writing and acting on the show, sometimes mirroring the on-again, off-again nature of the relationship between their respective characters Ryan Howard and Kelly Kapoor.[34] Novak is the godfather of Kaling's firstborn daughter.[35]
In 2012, Kaling was included in the Time 100 list of influential people.[36] In 2014, she was named one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year.[37]
Kaling is a 1% owner of the Welshfootball team Swansea City A.F.C. based in Swansea, Wales in the UK.[38]
In December 2017, Kaling gave birth to a daughter.[39] Kaling has not revealed the identity of the baby's father and at the time of her pregnancy was not romantically linked to anyone publicly.[40]
On June 10, 2018, she received the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.[41]

Preview — Matt & Ben by Mindy Kaling
Hollywood has glamorized, publicized, and bombarded us with--how it all began
for the two young men, now famous for the tabloid coverage of ther
on-again-off-again romances, their big budget smashes and flops, and their
'Project Greenlight.' It started with a script for the film that
became Good Will Hunting, slaved over by the
bright young dreamers (portrayed in..more

More lists with this book..
Dec 06, 2016emma rated it really liked it
Ben: Hey, hey check this out! (Ben chugs an entire bottle of Veryfine apple juice.) One motherf*cking sip!
Matt: Okay, Ben did not write this.'
It's kind of bonkers that Good Will Hunting, an incredibly touching and brilliantly done film, was written by the original f*ckboys: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Mindy Kaling (!) and Br..more
A quirky play written and performed by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers. They act out the roles of Matt Dameon and Ben Affleck as though the two are collaborating to write the screenplay for Good Will Hunting. I can see how this would be funny acted out as a play.
Matt And Ben Script
Also, there's something really cool about reading about parodies of famous people..I'd recommend this play.
Matt Damon
Cute and poignant. How does friendship survive in Hollywood? It tells the truth. Always.
It's a great script too, I can imagine it performed in my mind's eye - it's the kind of thing I'd want..more
What a quirky little gem. I would give a lot to see this played by Matt and Ben themselves, just for the giggles, but I'd give my left leg (my inferior leg, granted) to see it with Mindy. However, as that is unlikely to ever happen again, I am grateful for this publication.
2018 re-read: Read this again to celebrate meeting Mindy today. No Biggie. (Huge Biggie)
