Ben Affleck set to direct a standalone Batman film

Ben Affleck’s days as Gotham’s Dark Knight aren’t over yet. In fact, he’ll even be working behind the scenes for it. WB Chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara confirmed during a CinemaCon panel held in Las Vegas on Tuesday that they will be working with Affleck on a standalone movie for Batman, which he will both star in and direct. Rumours started in July that the actor/director was working with DC’s Geoff Johns, who oversees most of the company’s materials including movies and TV shows. They haven’t released any specific detail yet on when this solo Affleck/Batman film is happening but we should be hearing more about it soon.
