Ben Affleck To Star In New Trilogy of ‘Batman’ Films

According to an industry source who will remain anonymous, a cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice was screened for the film’s crew and Warner bosses within the past 24 hours or so. “It’s a near finished cut but not locked,” our source tells us.

That screening was, we’re told, a glowing success - to the point where Zack Snyder’s movie received a “standing ovation.”

Warner is said to be so impressed with Affleck’s performance as Batman that it’s apparently in the process of making an extended, “Golden deal”, which could see the actor play the Caped Crusader in a trilogy of stand-alone movies, not the single outing already announced.

All told, this deal could see Affleck in the role of Batman for the next 10 years or so.

“Basically, Warners are now working their movie universe around Ben’s Batman,” our source says.

As far as Warner’s bosses are concerned, Affleck is considered to be the “definitive Batman” and could be the hub around which the DC movie universe will rotate in future movies.
