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 Ben 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!
Worst Batman ever.
Embarrassing… http://batman-news.com/2017/07/31/ben-affleck-batman-trilogy-beyond-rumor/
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
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.
STFU
Matt Reeves isn’t even signed on for a trilogy
Bingo…people are frikkin’ stupid lol
Hell Yeahh! Am a BIG Batman fan since Keaton 1989, ben rules as Batman/Wayne! Peoble that said he suck dont know a thing about the character and the way WB are doing this films.
Jack Hannan
Ugh
Juan Gonzalez what do you think?
same ??
Eric Dustin Evans
Siddharth Sabu Pavitra Sahai yaaaaaayyy
Jonathan Arce
It’s been debunked. “Batman News” confirms this as false, sadly (but not unexpectedly).
Dan Gregory
Batman Beyond too!!!
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.
Brandon Gartner
Written by Edward Nigma…
No, i didnt read it here first haha
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

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…
Doubt it
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.
That’s great news!!
Justin Anderson
but yay for batman beyond
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
Bale didn’t want to come back and they didn’t want him to either, his films were finished.
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
Dude Bale sucks in action movies
well thats your opinion. in your eyes he sucks in mine ben sucks.
Brianna Lopez
Jaden Wright
Andrea Hope Taylor
he sucks as Batman, tf?
You’ve probably never picked up a comic then
Explain please

C sa que je regardais lol
If this turns out to be legit, I would be in
Boudreau Yves
I’m actually crying. It’s all I’ve ever wanted.
It’s false
Jeff Aldam Source?
The article is written by Edward nigma.
Source is common sense
HELL YEA!!!!
John Olsen this true
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.
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
They could do they Joker part of the story though
Brando Tarazon yes please
Please in the name in all that is holy nooo!!!
I’m calling BS
You rang?
?
Brandon Swindell how long have you been waiting for that one lol
Forever (pun intended)
Clint Eastwood for old man Bruce Wayne please
Keaton.
He’s between 60 and 80 in beyond…. Keaton would be excellent fan service
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 ??
Is this even freakin’ real?!
Hope so yes
Not actually confirmed yet
Jean Page
Carsten Böse
Niels Vonk
needs nipples
Adam Wolsey
Lee Finn it’s happening
I wont watch Affleck
“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”
Wow really? The guy who hated being in superhero films is just going to be Batman all the time now?
The story is written by “Edward Nigma.” It’s TOTALLY legit.
Great good news
There will be NO Batman Beyond film, that portion of the report is complete bunkum!
Well, at least we have the animated movies.
It would be interesting see a batman that kills
Yvonne Grigg
Lol The Riddler wrote this so it must be true
Corey
Excellent!!!!!
Good, because if he left I wouldn’t care to watch anymore
So ten years of terrible Batman movies
Looks like it.
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
Antoine Saura Loïc Noël Groot Thefatrat Yes Batman Beyond !
Lol
a comme un garçon J’ai le coeur qui fait boum et les cheveux long
Darian Mabury They’re finally listening to us.
If you think loud enough, people can hear you!
Milo ventimiglia to play terry mcguinnes!!
Herme Visser
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.
Joseph Morris
Batman beyond I’d see
AFFLECK SUCKS.
Ryan Winton
Leigh Brand
nice. the rest of BvS aside, his batman/bruce wayne is the best one yet.
Please no ugh
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
That would be cool
Kyle Coffman
Kyle Tanner Alex Hughes
BvS sucked so bad and Batfleck was a big part why.
Agreed.
Damn i trust matt reeves and i love ben as batman so im so ready for this!
Where are your recast rumors now? Affleck is the most brutal and hardcore Batman yet. This is awesome.
You’re hilarious ?
Someone tag Nerdist so they’ll shut the hell up with those bs rumors that Affleck is exiting DCEU
As long as it’s not Zack Snyder’s “vision” on what/who Batman is.
Tony Velasquez this sounds good
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
Last week he didn’t want to be Batman…like that’s even possible…
Carlett Blay Salzmann guess he is not leaving after all
I don’t think he would have made the speech he did at SDCC if he wasn’t going to do it
He’s a horrible batman ♂️
Brent McKenzie Ed Bosworth Daniel Robertson Ben Huffcut Princess Kayla Jeff Belz Nathan Seibel Kev Farris Jermaine Roberson Kobe Roberson

Yes yes yes
I am the source, and I did not say that.

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

If Michael Keaton plays Bruce Wyne in Batman Beyond, I’m going to see it no matter what review it gets.
Dude Keaton is a beast still
Andy Tait Maria
Well…..
Anthony Slongo
John Skipworth Batman Beyond will be awesome
?♂️?♂️??
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

Oh so he in there in there
*goes get his Bale trilogy dvds*
yes
Nice news for Batflek fans but Hot Damn bring on the Batman Beyond movie !
Owen Jarrett
Eeeeehhhhhhhh
Jack Singer
Michael Schwartz
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
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
That guy who plays Gendry in Game of Thrones, I’m just saying he looks like he was born to play Terry McGinnis.
batman beyond? are they even thinking these releases through?
E. Nigma was the writer you guys, maybe don’t swallow this without salt
Source?
Yesssssssssss
Batman beyond finally yay
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.
Never watching that…
Booooo

“According to a source from Warner Bros”
So it’s not official, it’s only a rumor.
Russell Asher Brandon Shalander fact check this please.
William Harre – You’ve been trolled good sir.
Also tagging Russell to save him the annoyance of having to checkS
Nah I totally saw that. Just thought that it’d be a pen name or w/e
Nope, this is definitely a joke news site.
SuperSayian Ccxlxvi Brandon Watkins BATMAN BEYOND!!!!!!!! YES!
Its good to hear Ben Affleck is still going to be Batman
No it isn’t, it’s a troll article written by the riddler lol
Ewww
DS Anderson yah I hear he likes the back of volkswagens

Brannon Breen

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.
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.
It was written by Edward Nigma…

Yo this is totally fake it was written by the riddler edward nygma you are being trolled!!!
Yep, good spot.

Great news
Nope, would be horrible news if it wasn’t written by the Riddler lol.

Yeah now we can get Keanu Reeves to play the guy from batmam beyond
He’s gotta be a bit younger… like Batman Year One

Finally Batman Beyond
Not likely, read the name of the author of the article.
Franshon Thomas Jr Derrick DeLancy
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.
Wtf! ?
Dork
This post gave me asthma
Alexandre Leclerc-Groulx
BATMAN BEYOND!!!
Good but I want the 3rd Tim Burton movie.
not bad consdering before BvS people hated the concept of batfleck.
Still don’t like Batfleck… ?
I still hate it. Lol
Best part of the DCEU
I love Batfleck
It sucked, still sucks. Burton nailed it, Nolan nailed it…
Thomas Lightfoot
I think Affleck makes an amazing Batman and looking forward to a trilogy. Hopefully he has some directing input too.
Nobody cares ..
Dana Leigh Soper

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!

Jenna Matt Daniel, batfleck trilogy with Batman beyond as film 3 per a source. I can dig it.
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!
