In July, we heard that Ben Affleck's script had been dropped for the new Batman film, but it seemed that he was still meant to put on the cape and the cowl at least, to star in the lead role. Nothing is officially confirmed, though, and some words from his brother Casey don't help to clarify.
"But he's not going to do that movie, I don't think. Sorry to say", Casey Affleck said over at WEEI radio. He quickly followed that up by asking if it was breaking news and claiming he made it up, as reported by Cinema Blend, so perhaps it could be a joke about how Warner Bros. is treating his brother.
The Batman is moving forward with Matt Reeves, so there will be a film with or without Affleck. Would you like to see him stay or go?
