The Batman Solo Movie: Everything You Need To Know

4. The Cast Features Obligatory Batman Characters...

Ben Affleck

Alongside Ben Affleck as the title character, The Batman will also feature Jeremy Irons as loyal butler and confidante Alfred, reprising his role from Batman v Superman and Justice League.

Besides confirming his appearance in the film, Irons also mentioned that the script is "smaller" and "more linear", which should alleviate any concerns that The Batman will mimic Batman v Superman's overstuffed nature.

The pair will also likely be joined by J.K. Simmons as everybody's favourite law enforcer, Commissioner James Gordon. While Simmons hasn't been officially confirmed as of yet, he's expressed excitement at the prospect of working with Affleck in future, and, come on... of course Gordon will be in The Batman movie.

The actor's been putting himself through a gruelling training regime in order to stack up against his incredibly buff, heroic co-stars too, and the results definitely speak for themselves.
