The THR story went on to casually say that Ben Affleck would not star in the Matt Reeves directed The Batman and that another star would portray the Dark Knight.
So, it is unclear, yet again, whether or not Ben Affleck will star in The Batman, but looking at all of the evidence surrounding the project, it would appear as if he is not.
While at San Diego Comic-Con last month, Ben Affleck addressed the rumors in a roundabout way, but never said anything concrete.
Just like Affleck at Comic-Con, THR didn’t really retract the news and were rather vague about the situation, which sounds about right for The Batman project.
