Sam Raimi will forever be remembered for making the original Spider-Man movies in the 2000s. He's also a big Marvel guy, as evidenced by his return to making Marvel movies with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But, as it turns out, Raimi is also a huge fan of Batman.
According to an interview with Empire Magazine, Raimi revealed that he's "always loved Batman" and told the magazine that he wants to do a Batman film. Specifically, Raimi mentioned that he'd "come running" if he ever "saw the Batsignal up in the air." The OG Spider-Man director also added The Shadow to a list of characters that he'd like to do a movie on.
Sam Raimi's penchant for dark and visually impressive movies would make him a perfect fit for a Batman film. Unfortunately, we don't think that Raimi will get a chance to fulfill his dreams anytime soon. Matt Reeves effectively has cart blanche with the Batman franchise right now following the success of The Batman, with spin-offs like The Penguin for HBO Max already confirmed and a potential series featuring the Arkham Asylum.
