The Batman: EVERY Major Rumour Ranked Worst To Best

3. Ben Affleck Won't Be Involved

The Rumour

As anyone with access to the Internet in the past year will already know, Ben Affleck's involvement in The Batman has been the subject of considerable conjecture. Sometimes he's in, sometimes he's out. Sometimes he does the hokey-cokey and he turns around. But what is it all about?

Most recently, it seems Affleck will not be Batman for Matt Reeves. He might be Batman in other Worlds Of DC/DCEU movies, but this "strand" of the universe will have someone else under the cowl.

Response

Good. Affleck can have the Justice League movies and Suicide Squad, if need be. He might have been good as Batman and passable as Bruce Wayne, but a retired Batman with nobody left to fight is not the one we want to see at the START of a franchise.

And if that means Affleck has to step aside, then so be it.
