According to a source from Warner Bros., Ben Affleck has signed on to appear in Matt Reeves’ The Batman trilogy. Reportedly, Affleck will assume the mantle of the Dark Knight for at least three more films, with the last leading towards a Batman Beyond film, which will kickstart the next phase of the DCEU.
“Yeah, he [Affleck] is staying on as the Batman. There were contract issues, but everything’s sorted now. He’ll do Reeves’ trilogy which sets up Batman Beyond, which will be the next phase of the DC film universe,” the source says.
You’ll undoubtedly be familiar with the news Affleck wanted out that’s been doing the rounds lately. However, this seems to be a problem of the past, as he has committed his future to the DCEU for the foreseeable future. Good news for Batman fans!
Awesome. Had no doubts at all, but I’m helluva psyched to hear that there’s a trilogy planned and that we’ll be getting Batman Beyond!
But… But… The ENTIRE internet believed the rumours that he was going to be kicked out! ;)
This is all awesome news. :-D

Lol the Internet believed the rumors but if you actually listened to some of the comic cons panels you would have heard it straight from his mouth that those stories are false. He is staying as batman and I love it!
Jenna Matt Daniel, batfleck trilogy with Batman beyond as film 3 per a source. I can dig it.
Jess

Not the best news I have ever read. Ashrit Varun
Ethan Gonzalez
Aubrey Fraetas freakin awesome!
If Batman Beyond doesn’t open the same way as the animated show I’ll riot.
Batman Beyond! Whoooahh
That’s because you and your boyfriend are idiots. Maybe you both should go back to harassing people for naked pics.
Aldo Rossi
Damien McDevitt well well well….so I guess he is staying!
We knew it all along.
They now started with David Ayer leaving. …I wonder what’s next?
Who knows 😊
Henry Cavill gets fired cuz He can’t shave 😂

Nobody cares ..
I think Affleck makes an amazing Batman and looking forward to a trilogy. Hopefully he has some directing input too.
Thomas Lightfoot
not bad consdering before BvS people hated the concept of batfleck.
Still don’t like Batfleck… 😜
Good but I want the 3rd Tim Burton movie.
Alexandre Leclerc-Groulx
Ah FFS stop! Batfleck is awful. and Batman Beyond was one of my least favorite story arcs/shows. Fingers crossed Matt Reeves can get his arms around this and it will be better than Batman v Superman. I wish they would do Death of a Family or Year One.
Franshon Thomas Jr Derrick DeLancy
I still hate it. Lol
Finally Batman Beyond
Dark night anything else is sub par
Batman Beyond??? OMG! I loved the cartoons! Please make this happen!!
Andrew Armstrong
Martin Webb
Whew!!! I was so worried he was gonna bail on the Bat. :)

Yo this is totally fake it was written by the riddler edward nygma you are being trolled!!!
Stein Rimbaut
Ethan Aidan
Can’t wait to see that mansion and batcave without being surrounded by a shitty movie.. I wanted it so bad
I’m for a Beyond movie, but listening to DC make these promises seems like a pipe dream. They keep telling us what we want to hear, not what will solidify their universe’s foundation.
Graeme Souter
Kenny Barger you know he will die or be old in the cave like a boss and the beyond suit will be awesome
Brannon Breen
Bradley Mozingo David Hardee
Best part of the DCEU
Ewww
Its good to hear Ben Affleck is still going to be Batman
SuperSayian Ccxlxvi Brandon Watkins BATMAN BEYOND!!!!!!!! YES!
Russell Asher Brandon Shalander fact check this please.
Yep, good spot.
Uh. No.
Ellis J Merritt
Mike Holtry
Shit the article was written by Edward Nigma, likely not legit lol. 🤦♂️
Rasmus Lund Rasmussen
William Harre – You’ve been trolled good sir.
Also tagging Russell to save him the annoyance of having to checkS
Marc Ravasco
Tira Ringblade
Booooo
Never watching that…
So the next few Bat films will be absolutely horrible. Well maybe after this Netflix can fix the damage done to Batman just like they saved Daredevil.
Batman beyond finally yay
I love Batfleck
Yesssssssssss
I don’t think he would have made the speech he did at SDCC if he wasn’t going to do it
Source?
BATMAN BEYOND!!!
E. Nigma was the writer you guys, maybe don’t swallow this without salt
Exactly! I’m sick of seeing them reboot the exact same superhero whether it be Spider-Man or Batman. I want a Terry McGinnis Batman.
batman beyond? are they even thinking these releases through?
That guy who plays Gendry in Game of Thrones, I’m just saying he looks like he was born to play Terry McGinnis.
Michael Schwartz
Lord I hope they don’t fuck it up
Jack Singer
Owen Jarrett
yes
But wait?!? I thought he hates the roll and is leaving 🙄🙄🙄🙄
right?! I like his Batman so far, glad to see more on the way. Better than recasting AGAIN
It was written by Edward Nigma…
No it isn’t, it’s a troll article written by the riddler lol
Not likely, read the name of the author of the article.
His Batman has been great. And yeah a recast would’ve been bad. Especially this early in the universe. Made sense going from bale to him. But had they don’t after only two appearances that would’ve been lame
*goes get his Bale trilogy dvds*
Malcolm Evans
Awesome
Nooooooo!!
Justin Cortez Alex Meeker Paul Kerschieter David Kerschieter Brett Hockman
Josh J-Man Brackevelt
Oh so he in there in there
Sean Evans Bri Stratz
Eeeeehhhhhhhh
John Skipworth Batman Beyond will be awesome
Nope, would be horrible news if it wasn’t written by the Riddler lol.
Nah I totally saw that. Just thought that it’d be a pen name or w/e
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤔🤔
Anthony Slongo
Well…..
Gross, fuck the DCEU
Andy Tait Maria
Fuck the DCEU and Batfleck in particular, there has never been a more toxic franchise.
If Michael Keaton plays Bruce Wyne in Batman Beyond, I’m going to see it no matter what review it gets.
John Skipworth Batman Beyond was a cartoon from when I was a kid where Batman is old and is basically Alfred and there is a new Batman that gets introduced

This is fake, people…..
Yeah this is being reported no where else.

Nope, this is definitely a joke news site.
Cody Gray
I am the source, and I did not say that.
Brent McKenzie Ed Bosworth Daniel Robertson Ben Huffcut Princess Kayla Jeff Belz Nathan Seibel Kev Farris Jermaine Roberson Kobe Roberson
Interesting
Yes yes yes
He’s a horrible batman ♂️
Carlett Blay Salzmann guess he is not leaving after all
Last week he didn’t want to be Batman…like that’s even possible…
DC is pulling their film slate ideas from a box that says “Unnecesary properties”
Honestly i love DC but a Nightwing movie, gotham city sirens, flashpoint and a batman beyond movie will do nothing to cement their universe
On the other hand the Avengers + the Guardians of the Galaxy are a good fit since Marvel earned that by building a universe that is both consistent and cohesive
Tony Velasquez this sounds good
As long as it’s not Zack Snyder’s “vision” on what/who Batman is.
Someone tag Nerdist so they’ll shut the hell up with those bs rumors that Affleck is exiting DCEU
Where are your recast rumors now? Affleck is the most brutal and hardcore Batman yet. This is awesome.
Damn i trust matt reeves and i love ben as batman so im so ready for this!
BvS sucked so bad and Batfleck was a big part why.
Kyle Tanner Alex Hughes
Wtf! 😂
Kyle Coffman
If they do a Batman Beyond film it needs to be giving to Burton and Keaton would be the best to be Batman again for one last time. It doesn’t have to be part of the new DCEU
Like 3 months ago I started telling my best friend that I was gonna direct DCEU’s Batman Beyond. I even made a teaser narrated by Amanda Waller just for fun.
So far I’m half right
Please no ugh
nice. the rest of BvS aside, his batman/bruce wayne is the best one yet.
NO. WAY.
Leigh Brand
Ryan Winton
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Dork
That would be cool
AFFLECK SUCKS.
Dude Keaton is a fucking beast still
No shit
Joseph Morris
Batman beyond I’d see
This post gave me asthma
You know what I was one of those who went up in arms when BatFleck was announced and I said no way. After seeing him in action I tip my hat to Ben because he did a phenomenal job and poured himself into the role. I’m excited to see him reprise the role.
Herme Visser
He’s gotta be a bit younger… like Batman Year One
Milo ventimiglia to play terry mcguinnes!!
Darian Mabury They’re finally listening to us.
If you think loud enough, people can hear you!
Antoine Saura Loïc Noël Groot Thefatrat Yes Batman Beyond !
Oooo my doner ds epic
So ten years of terrible Batman movies
Yeeeessssss let the power flow through you Batman
Lol
a comme un garçon J’ai le coeur qui fait boum et les cheveux long
Good, because if he left I wouldn’t care to watch anymore
Excellent!!!!!
Sick of fucking batman
It sucked, still sucks. Burton nailed it, Nolan nailed it…
Looks like it.
Agreed.
Noooooooooooooo
Corey
Lol The Riddler wrote this so it must be true
There will be NO Batman Beyond film, that portion of the report is complete bunkum!
Yvonne Grigg
The story is written by “Edward Nigma.” It’s TOTALLY legit.
It would be interesting see a batman that kills
Well, at least we have the animated movies.
Great good news
Wow really? The guy who hated being in superhero films is just going to be Batman all the time now?
“Here Ben, we moved the decimal point over a couple of spaces.” Producers. “That’ll do it”- Ben Affleck. “I’ll also take a percentage of the DVD and Blueray sales, thanks”
bale was so awful
I wont watch Affleck
Lee Finn it’s happening
Adam Wolsey
needs nipples
What a way to shit on Batman by having Affleck as Batman… Yo Affleck you was the bomb in phantoms yo
Niels Vonk
Wait, that asshole from Fashionable Male?
DS Anderson yah I hear he likes the back of volkswagens
You’re hilarious 😂
Carsten Böse
Jean Page
Not actually confirmed yet
Hope so yes
Is this even freakin’ real?!
As much as we like to believe this is true, its actually not legit. The person who wrote this is “Edward Nigma”. I hope Affleck will sign up for a trilogy
Me too. He’s not too old like all the jackasses are saying.
He’s perfect 🙌🏼
Clint Eastwood for old man Bruce Wayne please
I’m calling BS
You rang?
Please in the name in all that is holy nooo!!!
Keaton.
If there is any truth to this, it probably means they will avoid the Dark Knight Returns, which is a shame because it’s one of, if not the most awesome Batman stories
John Olsen this true
HELL YEA!!!!
I’m actually crying. It’s all I’ve ever wanted.
It goes along with everything I’ve heard. However, I don’t know this website and there is no source. I wouldn’t count it until Warner Bros. makes an announcement.
He’s between 60 and 80 in beyond…. Keaton would be excellent fan service
😂
Brandon Swindell how long have you been waiting for that one lol
It’s false
Boudreau Yves
If this turns out to be legit, I would be in
Francois Marsan
C sa que je regardais lol
Luke Podger
Forever (pun intended)
Leading to batman beyond :3 oh my
Nice…nice!!
Haden Culver
Archit Kumar
They could do they Joker part of the story though
Brando Tarazon yes please
Jeff Aldam Source?
The article is written by Edward nigma.
Source is common sense
he sucks as Batman, tf?
Andrea Hope Taylor
Jaden Wright
You’ve probably never picked up a comic then
Explain please
Brianna Lopez
i honestly just never really been a fan of ben. yes ive read the comics but i just wished they went with a different actor for the part. i had heard bale wanted to come back but like it said in this articles there was some issues with the contract so now ben is batman for three more movies……ugh
but yay for batman beyond
Ksw bey
You guys do realize that the chances of FoS having an exclusive inside source at WB when nobody else in Hollywood does, is next to nothing, right? I mean the article was written by Edward Nygma, for crap sakes. Edward Nygma, as in the Riddler. These guys are playing you.
Justin Anderson
That’s great news!!
Bale didn’t want to come back and they didn’t want him to either, his films were finished.
If this is real… BATMAN BEYOND FUCKING HYYYYYYYYYYPE Michael Hall
Doubt it
Love how folks decided a story from THR was fake news, but keep posting a story from a third rate blog site as if it’s the truth…
Indraneil Choudhury
Joshua
Jasiek Gruszczyński Sasza Plakwicz
This is all over the Internet and ppl didn’t believe me when I said ben was gonna be in his own batman trilogy and 2 justice league movies but now look, awesome news and a batman beyond too hell yeah
No, i didnt read it here first haha
Written by Edward Nigma…
Brandon Gartner
No doubt they musta made him an astronomical offer $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ he just couldn’t refuse, I’m glad he did cause he simply embodies the evolved role perfectly, regardless of what die hard Keaton and Bale fans think.
well its just what i heard not gonna press this one. dont really care either way. i like his batman but it wasnt the best. his suit was badass though but its whatever
Dan Gregory
Batman Beyond too!!!
It’s been debunked. “Batman News” confirms this as false, sadly (but not unexpectedly).
Jonathan Arce
Siddharth Sabu Pavitra Sahai yaaaaaayyy
Eric Dustin Evans
Juan Gonzalez what do you think?
Ugh
Jack Hannan
Hell Yeahh! Am a BIG Batman fan since Keaton 1989, ben rules as Batman/Wayne! Peoble that said he suck dont know a fucking thing about the character and the way WB are doing this films.
same 😂🤣
Matt Reeves isn’t even signed on for a trilogy
Bingo…people are frikkin’ stupid lol
STFU
Dude Bale sucks in action movies
Universe building breaking news for me is the equivalent of seeing my grandma naked. Just a turn off. Make a good film and lets go from there.
well thats your opinion. in your eyes he sucks in mine ben sucks.
Nice news for Batflek fans but Hot Damn bring on the Batman Beyond movie !
It’s a big Fake, your “News” are always full of Crap! Nobody else had covered this, and why? Because it’s Fake! Your just about Clickbait, that’s all
Embarrassing… http://batman-news.com/2017/07/31/ben-affleck-batman-trilogy-beyond-rumor/
Worst Batman ever.
