Ben Afflecks The Batman Coming In 2018
Ben Afflecks The Batman Coming In 2018

Here are his comments:
Next year, Batman Lego looks like a monster, and King Kong looks like a global hit and we have Chris Nolans Dunkirk, and King Arthur, and Wonder Woman, which is such a joy for the studio and fans. Zack Snyders Justice League is a big film, and there are others like CHiPS, which feels like a real franchise for the studio. And Toby Emmerichs films are also really humming.
Then in 2018, there is a second Fantastic Beasts film, and Ready Player One feels like an ambitious movie by the worlds best filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, that will set the world on fire. There is Aquaman with James Wan, and Scooby Doo will be a huge launch and then there is Lego Ninjago. And then there is Ben Afflecks Batman."
So it looks like The Batman will take that July 2018 slot on the DC Films calendar!
The Batman is written by Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns, directed by Ben Affleck, and stars Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, Batman, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, JK Simmons, who plays Commissioner Gordon, and Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke.
