Warner Bros. Confirms Standalone ‘Batman’ With Ben Affleck!

Briefly: Love Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, or hate Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, DC’s expanded film universe is now on its way in full force, and clearly isn’t going anywhere.

It’s been rumoured for some time now, and was also pretty damned obvious, but Warner Bros. confirmed today at CinemaCon that they’re working on a standalone Batman flick with Ben Affleck.

Of course, nothing was revealed about the project, and Warner Bros. head Kevin Tsujihara simply confirmed that “We’re excited to be working with Ben Affleck on a standalone Batman film.”

Will Affleck be directing this one? Or will he just have the starring role? That remains to be seen, but in any case I definitely dug Affleck’s Bruce Wayne / Batman, and can’t wait to see him get back in that suit (and hopefully learn how he became so jaded).
