Superman is back in Hollywood, played again by henry cavillwhich seems to resurrect the cinematic universe of DC Comics heroes that had been buried by the very Warner Bros. some years ago. So this situation begs a necessary question: Will Ben Affleck then return as Batman as well?
All after the premiere of Black Adam Not only did he bring back the other iconic actor in the role of the Man of Steel, but he also came to uncover something that had been suspected for a long time:
Warner’s previous executive management simply didn’t want Cavill playing the character, even if that meant killing off the saga and franchise started by Zack Snyder.
After all, they had the Joker tape and a new Batman played by Robert Pattinson. Marking a clear course focused on abandoning the project of interconnecting movies as Marvel does with his MCU.
However, with the change of the board of directors it seems that another new rudder has emerged, now in the diametrically opposite direction. Which represents good news for the entire ensemble of DCEU actors who had been relegated.
Ben Affleck could return as Batman just like Henry Cavill
Ben Affleck’s time as Batman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) was a turbulent moment for the actor. Everyone knows that, especially after knowing all the problems that the production of Justice League had.
However, it is undeniable that his action sequence of the hooded man in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, worked as a promising “technical demo” of what could be a tape of the dark knight starring the actor:
Much was said about a film written, acted and directed by Affleck himself, focused on adapting the story of the cult graphic novel Arkham Asylum.
The complete script itself has not been leaked, but those who have had the opportunity to read it as part of the aborted pre-production process affirm which promised to be one of the best Batman movies ever filmed.
Now, a recent report from Geekosity It brings us hope, since everything indicates that just like Cavill Ben Affleck could return to his role:
“Warner Bros. Discovery seeks to revive Ben Affleck’s Batman movie. Also, Deathstroke is once again the antagonist.”
It is what affirms the rumor that has acquired special force in the last hours. There is no more information but everything suggests that then the film written, starring and directed by Ben Affleck would remain buried.
In theory, the narrative thread imposed on the films released within the DCEU would be resumed, with Lex Luthor hiring Deathstroke to hunt down Batman.
It still sounds interesting.
