Ben Affleck reveals why he stopped being Batman

On January 31, what was already an open secret since the previous year was confirmed: Ben Affleck will stop playing Batman in the DC Extended Universe. At that time, the Californian actor did not want to delve into the situation, however, in the last Jimmy Kimmel program he explained what really happened.

"I tried to direct a version and I worked with a really good writer, but I couldn't find a version, I couldn't figure it out. So it was time to let someone else take it. They have some really good people," Affleck said. Recall that he previously resigned from directing The Batman, a solo feature film from Batman. Matt Reeves (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) took responsibility for the project and the actor's participation was left in doubt.

Before leaving the role of him, Affleck was working with Geoff Johns, executive producer and writer of Aquaman. Batman is still standing, however, the Gotham City superhero will be played by another actor. According to Deadline's report in January, the production company wants to tell the story of Bruce Wayne when he was younger, so the new protagonist must fit the desired age.

The film is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2021, so we will probably meet the new actor this year. The DC Extended Universe has been surrounded by controversy from the beginning. Many people never looked kindly at the work of Zack Snyder and Ben Affleck's own participation. Critics and the poor box office made it clear that a change, of course, was needed.

It seems that Warner Bros. has found the light of success after the release of Aquaman. The film achieved a collection of 1,100 million dollars, becoming the best recent work of DC superheroes. Of course, the producer wants to take advantage of the gold mine and they are already planning the second part.
