Ben Affleck may return in new solo film if given complete creative control


I didn't expect him to return for Flashpoint so who knows, maybe it will happen.

I'm very open to it happening. I was very skeptical based on his disaturous daredevil film but I was pleasantly surprised by his performance as Bruce Wayne. I actually liked his approach more than Bale's as both Bruce Wayne & Batman. I felt Affleck brought more humanity to Bruce Wayne & even his more brutal version of Batman.

Yeah, he's actually become my second favorite live-action Batman. So I'm fine if that happened. Let the Pattinson films take place in their own little universe. Which I guess Flashpoint is gonna confirm the Multiverse exists?

reply

I hope it happens. I really wanted to see a solo film of Batfleck just to see how well it'd go. I really enjoyed the fight scenes with this version. If you never played Batman Arkham City, I suggest you give it a shot and you'll see why I like this version of Batman. I want a movie where he can shine and not just get outclassed by all the other Justice League members.

Well if the rumors about pattinson are true, i wouldn't be surprised if they just stick with Affleck. It seems that ATT has a lot of interest in keeping the Snyder vision going.

what rumours?

reply

There's a rumor going around about Robert Pattinson being difficult. Which struck me as odd because he never seemed like the drama queen a lot of actors are.

reply

Rumor is they stopped production because he wasn't in shape. They took 4 weeks to get him back in shape. He wasn't so they stopped a second time. Reeve is apparently wanting to just do this one film and not do his trilogy. Again rumors.

Wasn't it because of covid?

I liked Ben as Batman. He was never the problem with BvS or Justice League.

reply

I did as well. There's another report that he may return for a second Justice League film.
