9 Movie Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (May10th)
5. Batman's Next Solo Movie Will Feature Many Villains
We learned this past week that Ben Affleck was reportedly "humiliated" at the reception to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and has signed on as an Executive Producer for Justice League to give him a much more significant creative stamp on the end product.
In addition, he's also going to most likely serve as star, writer and director for Batman's next solo movie, tentatively titled The Batman, which Warner Bros. are reportedly keen to fashion as "the definitive Batman film", with "a big, sprawling Bat universe already in place", meaning that the film will feature a ton of Bats' iconic adversaries.
The possibilities are, of course, pretty much endless and extremely exciting...as long as the film has more narrative coherence than Batman v Superman, that is. Overloading the film with villains can't compensate for bad storytelling: just look at Spider-Man 3.
