It’s worth mentioning that at the end of an interview with Fox 5 DC posted a little bit after this initial report, Ben Affleck mentioned that they’re “getting going” on the Batman movie.
Batman-On-Film has heard from a source that the Batman movie has been “pushed back” by at least “a couple months,” which would be in mid-summer territory.
Still, the comment is too vague to determine whether he’s saying things are progressing as scheduled or if he just threw those words so he wouldn’t have to get too into specifics.
A few months may not seem that big a deal at first, but if the plan was to get the movie out by sometime in 2018, that will be significantly harder to pull off, thus possibly necessitating the movie be held back until 2019.
