The Batman
Ben Affleck is still in talks to play the title part inThe Batmanmovie . Affleck first appear as the Caped Crusader in Zack Snyder’sBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justicein 2016 and then in short reprised his role in David Ayer’sSuicide Squadlater that year , but it was in 2017’sJustice Leaguemovie that he really came back . Unfortunately , it was n’t the storey that was originally promised - to anyone - and so he ’s been on the scepter of reportedly exiting the dealership altogether for over a yr now .
What ’s interesting is that Affleck had signed on to write , direct , bring about a solo Batman moving-picture show in addition to starring in it as the lead grapheme . But tackling such an endeavor can be clearly irksome , so he ultimately banish himself to but a starring function . CloverfieldandPlanet of the Apesfilmmaker Matt Reeves later boarded the project as author and director , and it had been reported ever since that he was developing an stemma fib , one that wouldrecast Batman- but that does n’t appear to be the case , at least not in its integrality .

Matt Reeves give a abbreviated status update aboutThe Batmanwhile advance his unexampled show , The Passage , during the TCA ’s summer wardrobe tour of duty . In plus to state that he ’s almost done with the script and that itwon’t be free-base onBatman : Year One , he also unveil that Affleck is still " involved " with the movie ( viaDeadline ) . Of of course , that does n’t necessarily mean Affleck will star in the movie ; most significantly , it means that Affleck is still concerned in the film and Reeves has n’t decided on a headliner yet .
Considering that there have been rumors of WB and Reeves meeting with different untried actors for the role of Bruce Wayne / Batman in the motion-picture show , hearing directly from the man himself that he ’s still speaking with Affleck is groovy word for Affleck buff and fans of his translation of Batman . Still , Reeves did n’t rule out remold the persona either . Interestingly , according to / Film , Reeves advise that there is a elbow room that Affleck could remain in the role while also gift the filmmaker the fortune to work witha young Batman in his movie(and peradventure trilogy ) .
This hint is in reality the perfect man and wife of what everyone involved with the pic could want . Affleck enter the DC movie creation as an established superhero with a 20 - year crimefighting calling on his resume . That gives the studio apartment deal of room to research the character ’s history to further cement his story arc in Snyder ’s original films , in particular being so far gone that he ’s uncoerced to vote out Superman to protect the world . And by exploring those chronicle , DC could replicate what they did with Patty Jenkins’Wonder Woman : begin and terminate the movie with Affleck and then run out the rest of the narrative as a flashback . Hopefully , it wo n’t be long before fans get a better thought of what to expect fromThe Batmanfilm .
