The Flash: 10 Ways Ben Affleck's Batman Could Be Written Out Of The DCEU
1. Maybe, Just Maybe, He Sticks Around?
No one, and we do mean no one, ever anticipated Ben Affleck returning as Batman. The negative reviews for the movies he starred in and the difficulties which came with helming his own solo outing starring the Caped Crusader became too much for him, and there are those who believe it was those reshoots for Justice League which were the straw that broke the camel's back.
With that in mind, who's to say his experience working on The Flash won't convince him to stick around? That would mean Batman's story doesn't necessarily end here, but is put on pause for a while until Affleck finds another project he wants to be part of.
As we mentioned in this feature's introduction, there have been rumours about Affleck reprising the role in an HBO Max series adapting his script for The Batman. Should Justice League: The Snyder Cut succeed on that streaming service, it could be something WarnerMedia is keen on making a reality, and a project Affleck could consider without the pressures of box office takings.
