Ben Affleck rumored to star in standalone Batman trilogy

The beginning of July revealed that Ben Affleck would not only be starring in a standalone Batman film, but will also be writing and directing it. It turns out that one standalone Batfleck (read as: Batman portrayed by Affleck) isn't enough for Warner Bros..

Ben Affleck will star as Batman in three standalone films, after Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and the subsequent Justice League film. This information has yet to be confirmed, but Warner Bros did push back the release of two of his non-superhero films.

According to sources, Warner Bros. was "so taken with Affleck's interpretation" that they couldn't help themselves and requested a trilogy. If this is the case, the timeline for the film's has Affleck as Batman for the long haul. In 2016 he will reveal his portrayal of our caped vigilante in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (with a dip into Suicide Squad), in 2017 he will join the Justice League and the first standalone film is said to be coming in late 2018. That's four Batfleck films over the next three years — plus the two remaining standalone films that will release in (probably) 2019 and 2020…

Hopefully Affleck a good Batman, otherwise this will be Warner Bros..
