Last year a report hit the internet that Ben Affleck would direct and star in a Batman solo film project for Warner Bros. called The Batman. In a recent report from Latino-Review, we’ve learned that this project is still moving forward, and that it’s aiming for a 2018 release date. They’re also reporting that screenwriter Chris Terrio, who wrote Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and is writing the two Justice League films, will also come back to write The Batman.

When Batman v Superman comes out, we’ll know for sure whether or not Terrio is the right screenwriter for this franchise, and if he’s going to be the one to bring the magic to the DC cinematic universe. He wrote Argo for Affleck, which was great, so hopefully he can bring that greatness to these upcoming DC superhero films.

As far as Affleck directing The Batman goes, Its an interesting idea, The guy has proved that he’s a talented director. I am concerned though. Afleck has done with movies that has no exisiting real content. These are some pretty big shoes to fill! There is a lot of sorce material here. This will be a real test to see how he can perform from behind and in front of the camera. Affleck has been choosing his film projects very carefully in recent years, and he’s not making crappy movies anymore.
