Ben Affleck has addressed his possible future as Batman, and I have to say I"m disappointed that the Snyderverse"s best Batman return can"t happen. It"s safe to say that director Zack Snyder"s DC movies were controversial. Not all of that was on him, as the previous regime at DC did not have a clear plan for how to handle the franchise, which led to many behind-the-scenes issues. Sadly, one of the best live-action Batman actors we have seen, Affleck, drew the short end of the stick with the DCEU.
Not only did Affleck"s debut film as Bruce Wayne, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, become perhaps the most divisive superhero movie of all time, but the actor never got to see his solo project materialize. To this day, I still mourn what Affleck"s solo Batman movie could have been, as the few details we know about it and Deathstroke"s inclusion all sound very exciting. Sadly, it seems like my dream Batman return also can"t happen to fix those issues after Affleck recently commented on his past and future when it comes to playing superheroes.
Ben Affleck Is Done With Superhero Movies The Actor Has No Interest In A Marvel Or DC Return Close While Affleck became famous in the superhero world for playing Batman, the Dark Knight was not the first superhero he gave life to. The actor played Marvel"s Daredevil in Matt Murdock"s 2003 solo film. Affleck also donned the Superman suit onscreen for Hollywoodland, which saw him play the first actor to bring the Man of Steel to live-action on TV, George Reeves. While the actor has a legacy in the superhero world, it seems like there will never be a new chapter in it, as Affleck does not want to be part of a superhero movie again.
