Debuting in 2016’sBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justiceas DCEU ’s adaptation of the Bat of Gotham , Affleck ’s looping is an older Bruce Wayne - a different take from other incarnations of the character that mostly feature the Hero of Alexandria at the height of his top executive .

If anything , his eld and want of meta - human skill were mainly used to evoke laugh from the audience , turning off some fans who feel that the hero was misuse in the movie .
Right now , the position of Affleck’sBatmanis undecipherable . The up-to-the-minute account reveal that the actor may want to stick around and continue reprize the fictional character in the foreseeable future .
