Ben Affleck is Officially Back as Batman. Fans are Pumped
The DCEU’s future is… complicated. Black Adam and Shazam are two of the potential gems that may be on the horizon. Fury of the Gods, but DC seems lost. The Flash, Aquaman, and the Lost Kingdom have been controversial.
Flash Star Ezra Miller faces numerous ongoing legal issues as the actor is accused of grooming and harassment. Aquaman Actress Amber Heard was recently in the news after she lost her libel case to Johnny Depp. DC has yet to comply with fan demands to recast their roles. However, we now know that one DC favourite is returning.
Ben Affleck’s Batman will officially return to the DCEU in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Jason Momoa, Aquaman, shared the news on Instagram. He shared photos of the actor and actress with the caption “Reunited Bruce & Arthur.” I love you and miss you, Ben. WB studio tours just explored the backlot. I was busted on set. All the great things are coming from Aquaman II. My aloha!
You might have guessed that Affleck’s appearance is not as secret as it seems from the caption. It would have been kept secret, but Momoa shows truckload tourists accidentally drove past Ben Affleck’s trailer while filming. Whoops.
While we knew Affleck would be the star of The Flash, it seems like DC isn’t ready to let Batfleck go. DC’s plan seems confusing, considering how many Batman-related projects they have. Robert Pattinson, who made his Batman debut in The Batman to excellent reviews. We also have Joker: Folie a Deux. I hope you aren’t tired of Gotham yet.
