Though Batman is considered to be the world's greatest detective, the films have admittedly been focusing more on spectacle than the actual detective genre. We don't know exactly what kind of mystery Batman will be solving in the movie, but it has been said that the movie will include a lot of villains from Batman's rogues gallery, one of which is the Penguin.

For now, it's said that Reeves' is busy polishing the script for the film to give it more action. It looks like the movie was originally supposed to be simpler focusing on Batman's mystery solving skills, but the executives at WB were said to be so pleased with Reeves' work that they decided to give him a bigger budget—hence, more spectacle.
