Affleck at one point was set to write, direct and star in The Batman, the upcoming DC movie that now stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader. He stepped back following Justice League and the pressures it put on his personal life.
“I showed somebody the Batman script,” Affleck told the New York Times last year. “They said, ‘I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went through again.'”
Affleck’s Batman is not the only Dark Knight set for the film. Michael Keaton, who played the role in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), is also back for the movie, which will involve travel between universes.
