Ben Affleck is 'A New Batman' for Justice League's Batman Week

Justice Leaguestar Ben Affleck is promising a new version of his twirl on the Caped Crusader in November ’s entrance into DC ’s shared cinematic universe . A direct sequel to last year’sBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice , Justice Leaguefinds Batman and Wonder Woman engage a chemical group of heroes that includes Aquaman , Cyborg , and the Flash ( and maybe Green Lantern ? ) to take on Steppenwolf , a warlord from the satellite Apokolips who has come to convalesce the cryptical Mother Boxes and conquer Earth in the wake of Superman ’s end .

Justice Leagueis an challenging chance for Affleck ’s version of Batman . An older , more cynical crimefighter , Batman ’s paranoia and trust emergence got the best of him inBatman V Superman , and Superman ’s demise cease up galvanizing him into action , attempting to both protect Earth and scavenge Superman ’s bequest . suss out out Ben Affleck discussing his young loop of Batman in the video recording below .

Everything we ’ve seen ofJustice Leagueso far suggest that imply we ’re going to see a Batman who ’s well alfresco of his comfort zone , feature to be a team player with a group of younger , decidedly less angsty heroes . Not only that , he ’ll have to serve as their de facto leader , the only fellow member of the team with no material superpowers - other than his self acknowledged power of having a mess of money . That ’s an interesting moral force for Batman , and one that would n’t have been possible without the more utmost variant of the case showcased inBatman V Superman .

It ’s also somewhat ironic that Affleck is discussing a " new Batman , " as the actor ’s longterm futurity in the role has been hazy for awhile . Matt Reeves is slated to write and organize a solo field day for the DC Cinematic Universe ’s Batman , a Book of Job once held by Affleck himself before he flatten out of that obligation , on the face of it to centralise on his acting career and personal life . Despite all this , Affleck has impressed as Batman , and fans likely hopeJustice Leagueis only the first chapter for this newer , less nihilistic version of his take on the iconic Gotham City vigilance man .
