The Batman Returns!
Best piece of news I’ve heard for a long time!
I so hope this is true, but there’s a rumour going around that Ben Affleck has reportedly begun training again to once again don the suit for The Batman movie.
You know that movie that was on, then off, change of Director and so on ….
According to a report this week from The Wrap’s Umberto Gonzalez on Heroic Insider. Gonzalez cited an unnamed source that Affleck has begun training for the Batman role:
“Ben Affleck, Batman, I just got word that he just started training again for the role. You know how there was talk that he was gonna leave and he might leave the role? Nah, bro. He’s working out. He’s getting back in shape.”
There’s been no official announcement on a release date or when the film will officially start production plus it’s also unclear where Gonzalez got the information, but he’s well known among superhero fans for his comic book movie-related scoops.
Can’t speak for everyone but for me this is one of the best pieces of news I’ve heard for a long time and hope it’s not just a rumour. For me, Ben Affleck is by far the best actor I’ve ever seen to take on the role of both Batman and Bruce Wayne. His look is straight out of the comic books, for either character and is the nearest representation to perfect I have seen to date of the Dark Knight.
But that’s only my opinion!
