Ben Affleck finally achieves lifelong dream of not having to play Batman anymore

Finally, after years of rumors, denials, and additional rumors that seemed to corroborate the initial rumors, it looks like Ben Affleck is hanging up Batman’s cape and cowl. We don’t know if the supervillain Bane escaped from a prison in Santa Prisca and broke his back, or if the loss of one of his Robins forced Affleck to give up his crimefighting career, but we do know that he’s been not-so-secretly hoping for this to happen for a long time. Either way, Deadline says that Matt Reeves’ The Batman—which we just heard is coming in 2021—will feature a younger Bruce Wayne who is not Affleck.

'The Batman' Will Feature a "Rogues Gallery" of Villains

Reeves' pic will depart from previous big-screen iterations of Batman by zeroing in on the notion that he's the world's greatest detective.

"It's very much a point-of-view-driven, noir Batman tale," he says. "It's told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it's going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It's more Batman in his detective mode than we've seen in the films."

This SOUNDS like it will cover when hes already established (but not old). Id be down for a true Batman detective movie.

Well then...

I wish they would dig deeper into the rogue gallery of villains. I always wanted black mask or clayface (which would be hard considering CGI) and others. Can we lay off Joker, Catwoman, Bane, etc for awhile.

Someone didnt read the link ;)

It turns out there will be multiple villains, Reeves reveals as part of a Creative Space interview with The Hollywood Reporter's West Coast TV editor Lesley Goldberg.

"You can't have Batman without a villain," Reeves tells THR. "There will be a rogues gallery."

The filmmaker says the casting process will begin shortly, and while the Warner Bros./DC film has no official release date, he could see it landing in late spring or summer 2021.
