Nevertheless, Affleck has been trying not to reveal too much on how the movie is progressing.
For instance, at the beginning of the month, he revealed that the movie would be called The Batman, but days later, he backtracked on that statement, saying that there “was no Batman movie yet” until the script, budget and other “stuff” could be worked out.
After more than a year of rumors and reports, Warner Bros finally confirmed in April that a new Batman movie was in development, given Ben Affleck’s iteration of the hero his first opportunity to shine on his own.
One might say this is Affleck’s passion project, so he’ll take as much time as necessary to see that all the pieces are lined up properly in his story before progressing further.
