9 Ways DC Could Respond To Spider-Man Joining The MCU

6. Officially Announce That Rumoured Standalone Batman Film

The news that Ben Affleck would take over the mantle of Bruce Wayne/Batman from Christian Bale was met with such ire, it€™s a wonder DC and Warner Bros. didn€™t relent to the pressure and just let him go (that's a joke of course - probably no actor would have inspired much confidence in fans after Bale€™s interpretation). If DC/Warner Bros. really want to make this Spider-Man news go away, all they have to do is make it official that there will be a standalone Batfleck film coming. It€™s been rumoured that Affleck€™s Batman will be getting his own movie (following Batman V Superman) for a while now, and the news that this new Batman is getting his own movie would probably be enough to make the internet explode. You know it€™s probably on the cards anyway, all Warner Bros. have to do is get it out to the press.
