Poor Ben Affleck had to endure the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice press tour after those scathing reviews were released, and now his latest movie Live by Night - which also isn't faring too well with critics - has been dominated by talk of The Batman. Based on the interview clip below, the actor and director has had enough of it, and he once again assures fans that he's making it and they'll love it.
Despite everything we've heard, it's hard to imagine the Caped Crusader's solo movie not happening at this point. After all, Affleck has said on numerous occasions that he'll direct it, so would he really drop out at such a late stage in the game? Honestly, we just don't know, but it seems pretty unlikely.
We'll have to wait and see, but as time goes on, The Batman being released in 2018 does seem doubtful. Affleck got burned with Batman v Superman and can't be pleased about Live by Night's reception, especially as it was an Oscar contender ahead of its release. What do you guys think?
