Everything We Know About Ben Affleck's Unmade Batman Movie

In July 2015, after Ben Affleck had been cast as Batman but before he’d made his on-screen debut, Variety reported that he was in negotiations to direct, produce, and star in a Batman solo movie that he would co-write with Geoff Johns. At the time, Batman v Superman and Justice League were already in the works, and this solo adventure was lined up as Affleck’s next directorial effort after his old-school gangster flick Live by Night, which, by then, was still in pre-production.
