The dark knight once again rose in the box office as Robert Pattinson's version of "The Batman" grossed around $128.5 million, topping every other movie premiere this 2022.
Former ‘The Batman’ director and The Batman himself, Ben Affleck, was dismayed that he was not included in a press release for the new director of the movie. Matt Reeves from ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ gets the directorial job.
"Performing this role demands passion, focus and the very best performance I can give," Affleck said during in an interview. "It has become clear that cannot focus and do both jobs at the level they require."
While promoting his recent work, Affleck kept on giving consoling updates on The Batman, yet rumors about his conceivable exit from being director lingered in the background. Affleck has since issued an announcement on why he is stepping down. It recommends that he cannot give the fundamental focus to fill in as director, the lead character, and writer.
Ben Affleck says he is frustrated of people only asking him about his Batman movie and ignoring his other movies. The Actor, however, assures that Batman standalone movie will happen.
In an interview, Ben Affleck talks about struggling with alcohol addiction, rehab stay because of that, how best friend Matt Damon and he spent their younger days and the possibility of a new Batman movie.
The Batman is still far from being shown in cinemas but theories have come up regarding the characters such as Alfred, being Bruce Wayne's father, and a sibling of Bruce.
Earlier this month came big news that Warner Bros. Studios was not only planning a Justice League film to continue the story from the upcoming "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice" film, but a slate of DC Comics heroes would also follow the release to star in their own big-screen adaptations.
