Justice League ei ollut odotetunlainen menestys, jonka Gamereactorin arvion voi lukea täältä. Lisäksi Matt Reevesin tulossa oleva Batman-elokuva ei ilmeisesti sisällä Ben Affleckin työpanosta lainkaan. Siksi verkossa onkin uumoiltu jo pitkään, että Affleck olisi saanut tarpeekseen koko roolihahmosta.
Hollywood Lifen nimettömän lähteen mukaan Ben Affleckin päivät Batmanina eivät suinkaan ole vielä luetut.
''He is back in shape not only for his health but he has a new-found love on doing Batman at least one more time again. He feels he isn't finished with what he wants to do with the character. There has been talk about replacing him, but he is now seeing what he might lose and really wants to play the character again. Especially seeing what Joaquin Phoenix is doing with the Joker character. He would really like to take the character of Batman and visit a more serious tone and side of the character and working with someone like Joaquin would absolutely spark his creative juices. He wants to figure something out with Warner Brothers to don the cape one more time.''
Nimettömään tiedonantoon tulee toki toistaiseksi suhtautua silkkana huhuiluna.
