Early Betting Odds For Ben Affleck's THE BATMAN Replacement Have Already Popped Up Online
Ben Affleck has only just officially stepped down as the DCEU's Caped Crusader but early betting odds for who could next down the cowl have started popping up online, and they make for interesting reading!
Ben Affleck is no longer going to play Batman and that means Matt Reeves is on the hunt for a new Dark Knight. As of right now, the trades haven't offered any names when it comes to who the filmmaker might be looking for, but speculation is running rampant and we obviously still have a long list of rumoured candidates.
Given the popularity of Batman, it probably won't surprise you to learn that Irish bookmaker BoyleSports has started accepting bets for who could be the next Bruce Wayne in Reeves' The Batman.
It's important to note that these don't necessarily mean anything because websites like these have no insight whatsoever into the casting process. Instead, they just come up who they deem to be the most likely candidates based on previous rumors and popular fan-picks, and then offer people the chance to gamble on them.
Regardless, it makes for fun reading and, well, if you're brave enough, why not put $100 on Henry Cavill and stand to make $10,000?
Here's the full list. Do you think there are any worthy candidates to play the iconic superhero?
