While I don’t hold out much hope for Batman V. Superman, Ben Affleck is not a point of my consternation.
Given his resurgence as a powerful actor/director combo, I trust Affleck will be the least troubling part of DC Comic’s epic superhero movie of 2016. It’s just the shaky director, the overstuffed cast, and the gimmicky premise that has me questioning my future earnings on a box office ticket.
But a solo Batman flick, simply titled The Batman, not only starring Affleck but also directed by him too? Count me in.
At this point it is merely a rumor posited by Latino Review that Affleck will be in the director’s chair but I’d argue that’s a fine choice for whatever direction DC decides to take Batman.
Affleck has already proved his worth in his previous directorial efforts of Gone Baby Gone, The Town, and Argo (factually notwithstanding) and I’m anxious to see what his take on the iconic character will look like when not shoehorned in with every other damn DC Comics character that seems to be in next year’s questionable entry.
I am still not entirely sold on a post-Nolan Batman universe but Affleck in both capacities would at least get me interested.
Please let this be true.
