Zack Snyder recently took to the social media platform Vero to thank Ben Affleck for his work in the DC Extended Universe, calling the actor the “best Batman ever.” Affleck officially announced that he’s done as Batman after reports surfaced that Warner Bros. is looking for a younger Caped Crusader for The Batman. You can check out Zack Snyder’s reaction to the Ben Affleck news below.
Ben Affleck was originally set to write and direct The Batman. He eventually stepped down and handed the duties to Matt Reeves, who’s been attached to the movie since February 2017. Warner Bros. reportedly wants to start shooting the project this November.
Plot details for The Batman are currently under wraps. The film is said to revolve around a young Batman and Matt Reeves has previously confirmed that it will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic.
The Batman is one of many projects currently being developed by Warner Bros. and DC Films. The list also includes a Flash standalone film, Green Lantern Corps, Birds of Prey, Black Adam, Suicide Squad 2, Nightwing, Supergirl, Plastic Man and New Gods.
The Batman is set to open in theaters on June 25, 2021. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on all upcoming DC Films projects!
