A few days ago we reported that actor Casey Affleck had brought his brother Ben's future as Batman into question by implying he would no longer participate in the upcoming film, and now the Batfleck himself has responded to these comments, or rather his reps have (via Cinema Blend), saying: "He'll continue to be Batman as long as the studio will have him."
Admittedly, it's dubious how many people took Casey's comment seriously, as he played it off as a joke and it was a pretty offhand remark, but still, it's nice to hear a response, one of which has also been offered by Casey's reps about his comments:
"He was having fun with the folks at the Red Sox game - where he threw out the first pitch in support of the Jimmy Fund - and not speaking from a place of firsthand knowledge."
Although he's still the main star, then, Ben Affleck's script was dropped from the film earlier this year, so he has a stripped-back role. Would you have liked to see him go, or are you happy with him as the Dark Knight?
