Ben Affleck Backtracks On THE BATMAN Comments; "There Is No Movie Happening Yet"
Recent comments from Ben Affleck about The Batman have got us all very excited, but the filmmaker has now backtracked not only on the title, but just how far along the project currently is (hint: not very).
Did Ben Affleck reveal a little too much about The Batman or did we all just jump the gun and get a little too excited too soon? It's hard to say, but during a Facebook Q&A with E! News (via Batman-News) today, the actor backtracked on both the possible title for the movie and made it clear that it's still in the early stages of production. So, should we forget that rumoured November 2018 release?
Maybe. For now though, here's what actor had to say about where things stand with the movie. If you'd rather hear his comments for yourself, he begins talking Batman around the 4:32 mark.
"I mentioned the other day… it’s been around for a long time, the movie… there is no Batman movie happening yet, we’re still trying to figure it out, you know, get the script and budget and all that stuff. And someone said, ‘what are you calling it?’ and I had said, like, back when we were promoting another movie, I was like ‘we don’t have a name for it, we’re just going with The Batman or Batman movie’, and I said that, and everyone was like ‘Affleck announces the title of his Batman movie.’"
That's not exactly the most promising of updates, but on the plus side, at least he's clearly still working hard on making it a reality. Affleck confirmed in another interview today that he's heading to Iceland this week to shoot Justice League, so he has a lot on his plate right now, especially with The Accountant's press tour only just wrapping up. Stay tuned for further updates as we have them.
