The list of those brave/luckiest enough to take on the mantle of the Bat on the big screen boasts a wild-card SNL alumni, Kilmers lips, Clooneys nips and Bales two-pack a day habit. And each and every one of them were all cool in their own way, because Batman. Now Ben Affleck (who I do not want to call Batfleck because that instantaneously makes everything associated with the film less cooler but kind of have to because its easier than writing Afflecks Batman) is going to step into the boots of the poster childhood for childhood trauma. Its no secret that hes going to somehow punch-on with the immortal Superman, news which resulted in every disappointed mother hastily washing the soiled jocks of their thirty-something year old who hasnt found a wife yet, but hes also been confirmed to have his own solo outing on the way. This Batman has been around and kicked a lot of ass while keeping his mind on his money that he uses to fight crime, opening up a plethora of plot lines. The Snyder-universe Batman debut will be not only be directed by Affleck, written by Affleck and star Affleck, but will also be produced by Affleck (its the Batman equivalent of Being John Malkovich if the entire crew for the film was solely John Malkovich). Fans should have no problem with Affleck taking the reins because the mans work speaks for itself; he can direct, act, produce and write and has proven to do so time and time again, aging gracefully like a fine wine. Rumoured for a 2018 release and already optioned as trilogy, here as some of the things that need to happen in Batmans next solo adventures.
