Ben Affleck unproduced Batman film details

Overview

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

According to Joe Manganiello’s memoir, ‘Bloodlines’, Affleck envisioned the film as a dark psychological thriller inspired by David Fincher’s ‘The Game’. The narrative would have featured the antagonist Deathstroke, played by Manganiello, systematically targeting Bruce Wayne’s support system.

Key plot points included an attack on the Batcave, taking Alfred hostage, and the death of Commissioner Gordon. This loss was intended to drive a significant role for Batgirl, who would hunt the killer. One described action sequence involves Batman and Batgirl narrowly escaping death on an elevated train.
