Ben Affleck Confirms That He's Still THE BATMAN With A New Image Welcoming Matt Reeves As Director
Amid speculation that Ben Affleck may not be returning to play The Dark Knight in the next solo Batman movie, the actor has now taken to social media to silence the rumors for good! Take a look...
Oh ye of little faith! Following recent rumors that Ben Affleck may be looking for a way to leave the Caped Crusader role behind him after Justice League, the actor/director has 100% confirmed his involvement by sending out a Tweet welcoming Matt Reeves on board as his replacement in the director's chair of The Batman.
Though Affleck never gave any indication that he was done with the role, rumors arose that he might be thinking of throwing in the cowl after he stepped down as director, and speculation increased when his name wasn't mentioned in Warner Bros.' press release confirming Reeves as his replacement.
Though there was probably never any real danger of Affleck quitting (at least, not yet), it's nice to finally be able to put this to rest. You can check out his Tweet, along with what appears to be a new image from either Batman V Superman or Justice League, below.
