news culture Batman: Ben Affleck is back in the DC Universe, but… The fans are going to complain!
Fans of the DC Universe have recently been completely turned upside down with the arrival of James Gunn at the helm of DC Studios. However, a much-loved actor might make a surprise return, but there’s a twist.
Summary
- Batfleck back?
- Batman pays Superman?
Batfleck back?
Like most times a new Batman has been cast, Dark Knight fans had to wait to see him on screen to appreciate Ben Affleck in the vigilante outfit. First appearing in Batman V Superman, he then played a dark and violent version of the character, whose arsenal seemed far deadlier than usual. And if the film was not unanimous when it was released, the character managed to convince many fans.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran at the head of DC Studios, many things will change within the DC Universe. If we learned a few weeks ago that Henry Cavill was going to have to hang up the cape of Superman, it is actually the whole of the Justice League that will have to be remodeled. However, while Ben Affleck’s Batman might seem like ancient history, the man behind the mask might not.
Batman pays Superman?
It was on Twitter that James Gunn revealed a little more about the future of the DC Universe, and in particular the future of Superman. While we knew that he would no longer be played by Henry Cavill, the boss of DC Studios told us above all about his own role, since he will be writing. At the same time, James Gunn also revealed that it would not be an origin story, in addition to dropping a small bomb:
Responding to the question of a user asking if Ben Affleck could be the director of the next Superman film, James Gunn announced that he had discussed it with him. He then tells us that Ben Affleck wants to make a film and that the two new bosses of DC Studios also want it, but that it remains to find the right project for him.
In other words, if it is not really sure that Ben Affleck will be able to direct the new Superman film, everything seems to indicate that he will have his place as a director in the new DC Universe. Something to make some fans very curious, and others very disappointed not to be able to see him again in the Dark Knight costume…
