Following seven years as Batman, Ben Affleck plans to retire after his stint in The Flash. The actor talks about his final appearance before the debut of this DC movie.
Affleck expressed his love for the role of Batman in a recent interaction with The Movie Report during the premiere of The Flash. He said, “The tone is a difficult thing with these movies, trying to figure out how serious, how dark, how funny, how engaging it is. And people that have done it really well have struck a balance with that tone, and I feel like Andy really did that with this movie. And it was a lot of fun. I really had a great time and it was over too soon.”
Affleck stated that he had ‘most fun’ while playing the cameo in The Flash film since there wasn’t a lot of work involved. He also had a terrific experience working with director Andy Muschietti and main actor Ezra Miller. The actor stated that he now knew how to portray Batman and that he loved the film.
Previously, Ben Affleck’s Batman was planned to appear in Aquaman 2, which is slated to be released in December 2023. However, the revamped DC universe under James Gunn and Peter Saffran has seen significant creative changes. According to reports, DC removed Affleck’s appearance in Aquaman 2 and he is no longer required for the plot.
