Ironically, "Dawn" director Matt Reeves's next film project following "War for the Planet of the Apes", is a new interpretation of the Batman character, and has responded to the comparisons between the relationship between Caesar and Koba to that of Batman and The Joker stating, "I see this parallel between Caesar and Batman, really, which is this idea of these characters who are grappling with their own struggle and trying to do the right thing in an imperfect world and, so, I do really relate it to that kind of idea."
