Ben Affleck revealed that he’s “contemplating” appearing in a standalone Batman movie in an interview with USA Today.
This is a different tune than the one Affleck was singing at Comic-Con this summer when he denied reports he was looking to exit the DC Comics franchise, stating: “I am the luckiest guy in the world. Batman is the coolest part in the universe. I’m so thrilled to do it. It’s f**king amazing.”
Comparing that with his latest statement, in which Affleck is somewhat vague about his future as the Caped Crusader, telling USA Today that the long-in-the-works standalone Batman movie is “something I’m contemplating.”
Affleck was originally slated to write, direct and star in the Batman flick, a plan that eventually wound up with another writer tackling the script and director Matt Reeves tapped to helm the project.
