Ben Affleck has said on several occasions that the script for the first solo Batman flick in the DCEU is almost finished. Given his track record behind the camera, we can all understand that it will be a more than awesome flick. As the actor himself said, he won't start shooting again on a screenplay that isn't perfect.
Furthermore, the actor also said that he has taken the Zack Snyder approach to making the first Dark Knight movie. This means that The Batman (as the movie is rumored to be called) won't adapt just a particular storyline, but will borrow from several. Is this a good idea? Maybe. But considering how convoluted Batman v Superman's plot was, maybe Affleck should've steered clear from such a path.
But I trust Ben Affleck. Until now, he hasn't disappointed as a writer or as a director. So whatever storylines he might steal from, I do believe that he will once again make a good impression.
The movie should be released in 2018. Affleck has already said that the script is almost finished, and Warner Bros. has scheduled an untitled DC project for the 5th of October. And the actor has no projects scheduled after 2017's Live by Night.
So from which storylines might Ben Affleck steal for The Batman? Check it out!
