Why You Should Be Excited For Matt Reeves’ The Batman

Ben Affleck Is Still Attached In A Big Way

Despite all the murmurs and rumors, Reeves has confirmed that Ben Affleck will still be our Batman – and we should all be excited about this. Affleck’s role in the film won’t only be restricted to portraying the Caped Crusader, as he’s still signed on as a producer and co-writer as well. So, in other words, he’s heavily involved and invested in this project.

Apart from the vocal minority, the general consensus is that Batfleck is the perfect live-action Batman and one of the best superhero castings in recent years. While Affleck is a talented (and Oscar-winning) filmmaker in his own right, working with a sublime director like Reeves could produce a newfound synergy and energy that leads to good things on screen. By collaborating with someone of equal talent (or even more), boundaries can be pushed and the final product will be stronger as a result.

Also, Affleck no longer has to worry about directing The Batman, so that pressure’s off his shoulders. Now, he can channel all his energy into portraying the best damn Caped Crusader ever, and leave the rest up to Reeves. Somehow, we think all the initial production troubles might prove to be blessings in disguise. We hope that we’re right here.
