Fans are still rejoicing over the fact that Ben Affleck has agreed to reprise his role as Batman in the Justice League reshoots, as well as Ezra Miller's solo The Flash film. Now, to those who are still worried about his status, it seems like Affleck's return to the DC Extended Universe isn't going to be just a one-time deal. In fact, a new report claims that regardless of the Snyder Cut's outcome, a second Justice League film is already in the books and Batfleck himself has agreed to sign on.
The report comes from UK-based site Small Screen and according to their sources close to the project, Justice League 2 is rumored to still be happening. One source claims: "The deal has been signed. Ben Affleck is going to be returning as Batman in Zack Snyder's Justice League 2."
Here's what another unnamed insider had to say: "Ben Affleck and WarnerMedia have agreed on a deal that will see him star as the Dark Knight in Justice League 2." Of course, like any other rumor, take this one with a grain of salt.
Affleck seemed to how found a renewed sense of interest and enthusiasm in his role in the DCEU, given the fact that he's now returning to the franchise after "retiring" the Batman mantle in early 2019. I, for one, am generally stoked about it and I can't wait to see him back as The Dark Knight. A lot of people believe that Ben's take on the caped crusader is arguably the closest to its source material and quite frankly, he's done a great job as both Bruce Wayne and Batman and I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be given another chance to play the role. His road to redemption needs to happen, after all.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is coming to HBO Max next year.
