According To WME CEOs, Ben Affleck Has Already Written A BATMAN ScriptIn this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, and another Batman movie and based on this new report, it sounds like Affleck may have already finished the script!When 2x Academy Award-winner Ben Affleck was first cast as Bruce Wayne, the Batman, in Warner Bros.' Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, many fans were up in arms with the casting choice. However, after watching him in action last week in the highly controversial and critically panned Zack Snyder-directed film, fans found some solace in his performance and were fairly unanimous in declaring him the best live-action Batman to ever grace the silver screen.
It's been rumored ever since Affleck signed on that a solo Batman movie, tentatively titled The Batman, was definitely in the works with Affleck collaborating with DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns on the script, but an expected release date and/or any details on the plot, outside of it being possibly based on the Batman: Under The Red Hood story arc, were few and far between.
The Hollywood Reporter, in an interview with Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell, the co-CEOs ofWilliam Morris Endeavor (WME), Affleck's talent agency, have learned that in addition to being signed on for two Justice League films, Affleck has already finished a script for an yet-to-be announced solo Batman feature: "He's contracted to do at least Justice League One and Two, so at least three times wearing the cape, there's a script that he's written that is a really cool [Batman] idea, so that's out there as an option." Whitesell later added that Affleck would also be reprising his role for a cameo in the David Ayer-directed Suicide Squad, which is due out this August.
