It looks like Ben Affleck has found a way to keep himself busy in the wake of his divorce from Jennifer Garner.
Deadline has confirmed that Affleck will direct and star in his very own standalone Batman film down the line.
No release date has been set and no title has been revealed, but Affleck will co-write the blockbuster along with comic books scribe Geoff Johns.
Events in the movie will be set after whatever goes down in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, along with what takes place in 2017’s Justice League movie, which will unite nearly all DC superheroes on the big screen.
Affleck was named as the latest actor to don the cape and cowl last year, taking over for Christian Bale, who portrayed the Caped Crusade in three Christopher Nolan films.
Among the many rumors for why Affleck is splitting from Garner, at least one report actually blamed his casting as Batman.
The Oscar winner is supposedly more focused on his career than his personal life.
We don’t know about that, but we do know that we can’t wait to see his take on Batman!
