As we inch closer and closer to the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice coming out event at San Diego Comic Con, new reports have broke that a solo Batman film starring Ben Affleck is coming to theaters.
According to geeky tipster site Latino-Review Ben Affleck has committed to both starring and directing a solo Batman film, titled The Batman which is slated for 2018 release.
Wearing both actor and director hats isn’t new for Affleck, who did the same with Argo which won the best picture Oscar in 2012. The report also states that Batman v Superman scribe Chris Terrio will be back onboard to pen The Batman–Terrio also won an Oscar for best original screenplay for Argo.
If confirmed, and let’s hope soon, all the perfect pieces have been aligned on paper for a reboot of Batman on film. The ultimate test will come when Batman v Superman hits theaters March 25, 2016.
