"That's the idea, yeah, that's the idea. We still have to get a screenplay and get it together. I am [writing it]; that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be good. [laughs] I'm a real believer in not doing, not reverse engineering projects to meet a window or a date, but rather like when you get the right story or you get the right idea or you get the right thing, then you make the movie. And so that's what we're doing, and I'm hoping to get that done and spending a lot of time on that, but I'm also working on other stuff. And if I could, if I can find it right then there's nothing I'd love more than to direct a standalone, you know, iconic great Batman movie."

Joe said they would be starting shooting this year, while Ben denies this. I'm leaning towards Ben on this, because he's a bigger actor and person than Joe.
