Casey Affleck Says Ben Won't Be Batman Again
by EG
It appears Ben Affleck will not be returning as Batman for a stand-alone feature following the upcoming Justice League film, according to his brother, Casey.
The younger Affleck confirmed what The Hollywood Reporter reported in late July while he visited WEEI’s Dale & Holley With Keefe radio show.
“I thought he was an OK Batman,” Casey said. “No, he was great. He was great. He’s a hero, so he had something to channel and work with there. But he’s not going to do that movie [The Batman], I don’t think. Sorry to say.”
When the interviewers reacted with shock, Affleck attempted to walk the statement back.
"Is that breaking news? Because I was just kind of making that up, I don’t know," he said.
Warner Bros. did not comment on Casey's remarks.
