A lot seems to be going on around Ben Affleck. He is up in the news constantly, his memes are everywhere, and whatnot. Following his absence at the 95th Oscars along with Jennifer Lopez, it came to light that he is busy with his upcoming project Air, a movie based on Michael Jordan. And make all this, he sat for an interview recently and talked about other projects. And as it turns out, he will be reprising his Batman role in DCEU’s The Flash and Aquaman.
But he has revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he is done with Batman. According to him following Justice League, he had no interest whatsoever in continuing the same storyline for his portrayal of the Caped Crusader. Affleck admitted to hating the plot of the Justice League. Although the movie is one of the highest-rated in the list of all his Hollywood projects, the actor said,
“I’m out. I never want to do any of this again. I’m not suited.”
From his words, it can be understood that his reprisal in the two upcoming DC movies, would be his last. Affleck’s role in Batman V Superman was highly loved and praised by the fans. It was what marked his start as DCEU’s Batman. Unfortunately for his fans, he has decided to discontinue his portrayal of The superhero.

The couple had been searching for the perfect real estate since 2021. And in between, they settled on two (one for 50 million dollars and another for 34 million dollars). But in both the cases they ended up abandoning the decision.
