The only silver lining in the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was Ben Affleck’s strong portrayal of the Dark Knight. It’s almost unimaginable to even think of any other actor besides Ben Affleck to bring this iconic character to life onscreen. He proved that he is someone who could carry the role of a playboy billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne with passion and panache. He is a big comic-book nerd who has set up a Bat cave in his private mansion.
He has been revered by both critics and fans for his masterful performances in The Town and Argo. The common thing about these two projects is that both were nominated for Oscars, starred and directed by Ben Affleck. He has been talking about the Batman solo films for a long time, asking fans to contribute and tell him what they would like to see in his version of a superhero. Geoff Johns (comic book writer turned Chief creative officer at DC comics) is deeply involved in the creative process which lends credibility to the project. Finally, the studio has confirmed that Ben Affleck is the new “creative man” who will direct and contribute to scripting the standalone movies of the new Batman franchise.
According to credible sources, Ben and Geoff has already begun working on what they call a definitive Batman film, the movie is likely to be crammed with major villains of Batman universe that fans always wanted to see. They will bring all the big guns at the very first outing, and create a sprawling Bat universe. Moreover, Batman will be locked up in the Arkham asylum by a horde of Gotham criminals and super-villains. In comics, the Batman tries to control a massive riot that broke out in the prison, inside he met Two-face, Killer Croc, and the Joker. CHEERS!
