It seems that Ben Affleck's Batman days are over. Which none of us are really all that surprised about.
Ben's performance as Batman wasn't exactly his most crowning achievement as an actor. It wasn't horrible, but it certainly could have been a lot better. I think people were just used to Christian Bale, and couldn't accept the change.
Fans had mixed feelings about Ben continuing to play the role, but in the end, he decided to retire his cape, and pass the torch on to somebody else.
After playing Bruce Wayne in three movies, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and Justice League.
“I tried to direct a version of it and worked with a really good screenwriter, but just couldn’t come up with a version, I couldn’t crack it,” Affleck told Kimmel.
“So I thought it was time to let someone else take a shot at it. They got some really good people, so I’m excited.” Ben added.
Looks like they're going to have to hit pause on that project until they figure out who the next Batman is going to be.
Looks like it's Twitter official. There's no going back now.
Back in 2017, in an interview with USA Today, Ben expressed how being in a superhero movie is very different from everything else he has done.
"You cast the 14th lead in these movies and the internet goes crazy,” he said.
"That’s why I am not going to do it, unless I really feel confident about it.” he added.
He's set to star in and produce an adaptation of Kate Alice Marshall’s novel “I Am Still Alive.”
He is also committed to starring in upcoming drama called “Torrance".
Although Ben Affleck as Batman had mixed reviews, some people thought he was the perfect man for the part, and aren't crazy about the idea that he's retired from the role.
Start making your suggestions and predictions now! The new Batman could be anyone.
Becoming a major superhero is a huge deal, so hopefully they choose carefully this time.
Christian Bale left some giant shoes that not even Ben Affleck could fill.
Is Robert Pattinson up for the challenge? Only time will tell.
He wasn't great in Twilight, a teen movie about sparkly vampires. So what makes us believe that he could pull off a brooding, Batman?
"Been hearing some background chatter about Robert Pattinson being looked at, if the talks (source) are true then all of our predictions were wrong," he captioned the photo.
Who do you think should play the next Batman? The choices are endless, but there can only be one.
I vote for Armie Hammer!
