A more evasive approach which doesn’t seem to even confirm his appearance in The Batman, and certainly doesn’t hint that Affleck has any intention on further instalments down the line.
Ben Affleck has become strangely evasive over his future as the DCEU’s Batman after unconfirmed reports started circulating that he’d be stepping down from the role in the near future.
There’s been something of a snowballing effect with rumours over the past few months, growing out of the shadows of Batman vs Superman’s critical lashing, and reaching a new peak when Affleck stepped down as director of The Batman solo film.
You have a new contender in the ‘I really can’t decide whether to stick around in this role’ stakes.
