During an interview where Greg Silverman revealed why he decided to step away from the studio now, the former WB executive confirmed that Ben Affleck’s The Batman will be released at some point in 2018.
That report didn’t confirm that The Batman was taking the June 14, 2019 slot, but there had already been a number of rumors that indicated The Batman would actually hit theaters in 2018.
Many had speculated that The Batman would be taking the October 5, 2018 slot, but Aquaman was later moved to that date.
This news from Deadline comes just days after we reported that Justice League 2 was pushed out of its June 14, 2019 release date, in favor of Ben Affleck’s The Batman.
