Since the very first day of 2017, rumors have swirled questioning the status of The Batman and how involved Ben Affleck would be.
With Affleck making this public statement, fans should be able to take a breath and feel more at ease with the direction this project is taking.
Some of those were ultimately proven to be true as he stepped away from directing duties while Chris Terrio is re-writing the script.
Again, as of right now, it looks as though The Batman will move forward with Reeves and Affleck together, but whether or not this new version keeps Deathstroke as a villain is unknown.
