UPDATE: Story has been debunked. The hunt for the plot of The Batman continues.
According to Manabyte, he has it on good authority our boy Matt Reeves is going to fill in the gap that everyone has been curious about in the DCEU: The death of Robin.
We know this weighs heavily on Batfleck with several nods to it, even confirming that Harley Quinn was involved with his death in her intro in Suicide Squad. There's a lot of puzzle pieces, Reeves just has to put them together.
As to if we'll see Red Hood, that's a mystery that remains to be seen and could be left for a sequel (probably for the better as that's a lot to tackle in that movie).
To be clear, it sounds like it's not a direct adaptation. More like using the death of Robin as a foundation for the story, who knows how much Reeves will pull.
Obviously this'll be before BVS... so that leaves me with one big question. Is Affleck out? Rumors have been suggesting for months that Reeves would go for Gyllenhaal as he's both going for a bit of a younger Bats and he may not exactly be pleased with how Affleck has maintained his public image as Batman given his shaky "will he stay or will he go?" status.
Is this a story you guys want to see or would you have rather seen Affleck's script which reportedly would have been heavily influenced by David Fincher's The Game.
