Ben Affleck's solo Batman movie is confirmed

It’s finally “official”! Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara just took the stage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas and announced that a Ben Affleck solo Batman movie is in the works. He also spoke about the record-breaking opening weekend that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice had.

“It set up a great foundation for our DC slate, which includes at least 10 movies through 2020,” Tsuijhara said. “I’m also excited to know that we will be working with Ben Affleck on a stand-alone Batman movie.”

 Ben Affleck is co-writing his Batman movie with DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns. He’s expected to direct it as well, though Tsujihara did not explicitly confirm that tonight.
