Ben Affleck's unproduced Batman film details revealed

New details have emerged regarding a planned solo Batman film starring Ben Affleck that was never produced for the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The project was intended to be a massive undertaking, with Affleck serving as director, producer, and screenwriter.

Actor Joe Manganiello, who played the villain Deathstroke in a Justice League post-credit scene, provided insight into the intended plot in his memoirs, ‘Bloodlines’. According to Manganiello, Affleck envisioned a dark psychological thriller inspired by David Fincher’s 1997 film ‘The Game’. The film would have featured a gritty narrative centered on the challenges faced by Bruce Wayne.
