The Batman

Batman is, without argument, the best thing about Batman v Superman. He’ll appear next in Suicide Squad, in what seem to be flashbacks, and then in the first Justice League flick.

Having seen BvS, I understand why Warner Bros. pushed for a Batman solo flick. Besides Ben Affleck being the best iteration of the character, this is still the studio’s most successful character. And even if it’s just been four years since The Dark Knight Rises was released, the next installment should arrive sooner rather than later.

Ben Affleck writes, directs, and stars in the project. He’s already said that the script is almost finished. And he has no movie coming out in 2018. Could that mysterious October 5 flick be The Batman? I hope it is!

Furthermore, the fact that the film will be packed with supervillains (there is a hint of A Serious House on Serious Earth adaptation) makes the project even more interesting. So yeah – I’d be more than happy with such an announcement.
