War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves is developing a Batman stand-alone that, according to sources, will not star Ben Affleck, who plays the caped crusader in the DC Universe movies (Warners and Affleck have denied he is being replaced).
Reeves did say recently that his version of The Batman is still in the very early stages of development.
Just before Comic-Con, rumors began to surface that Ben Affleck’s tenure as Batman was coming to an end far sooner than anyone expected.
Affleck could become Batman and get fired like ten times between now and then.
