10 Things We Want To See In Ben Affleck’s The Batman

The DC Extended Universe has many exciting projects in the pipeline – from next year’s Wonder Woman and Justice League to touted movies we don’t know much about yet like Green Lantern Corps. One of those that's most exciting the fans, though, is The Batman – the upcoming solo Dark Knight movie starring, written and directed by Ben Affleck.

2) Remind Us That He’s The World’s Greatest Detective

Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Comic book readers might know him as the World’s Greatest Detective, but this common nickname for Batman has never actually been uttered in a film. The reason for that is simple: movie Batman is not a detective in the slightest. The likes of Batman Begins have entirely convinced us of Batman’s magnified strength, stamina and bravery, but we’ve never got much of a sense that he has an amazingly analytical brain under that cowl.

The cinematic Batman tends to go in with his fists rather than his mind, which is a shame, as it’s an integral part of the character that every movie so far has left on the floor. Batman V Superman actually showed some headway in this, with a subplot being devoted to Bruce’s investigation into the mysterious White Portuguese. Given this, we hope The Batman will be as much of a thrilling detective story as it is a great action-packed ride.
