I’m convinced that if not for Warner execs, we’d have an awesome DC Universe!

Ben Affleck deserves his own Batman movie with Deathstroke as his main antagonist

Who would ever thought we would miss Ben Affleck as Batman

Ugh, this hurts sooo much knowing this is no longer a thing

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms yo.

What really kills me is that Affleck was using David Fincher's "The Game", one of my absolute favorite films, as an influence on the movie. When I heard that, I knew his Batman movie was going to be on another level of awesome.

The DCEU as a whole was a jumbled mess, but Affleck’s Batman/Bruce Wayne and Jeremy Irons as Alfred was brilliant whenever they were on screen. I know that it’s different actors, different world and different gadget tech, but it still somehow felt like a spiritual successor to TDK trilogy. I think that’s what Zach was going for since he tried to recast Bale as Batman and got Nolan to oversee the direction. Affleck just looks the part more than anything I’ve seen put to film.

Gareth Evans is perfect for a Deathstroke movie, Joe Manganiello is physically & visually perfect for the character, this just proves how WB don't have a clue how to initiate their own comic book universe, even more.

yeah it breaks my heart that ben affleck never got his solo batman movie, i really liked him as batman.

Ben Affleck as Batman and David Fincher behind the camera would have been amazing !

I wish they'd release that script at least. I'd love to read that. Deathstroke is my favorite villain and this plot sounds perfect for him

We were supposed to get a Cyborg AND Green Lantern movie this year😭

When i first heard Ben would be the batman, i laughed. He promptly proved my apprehension to be misguided. He straight owned the character. If it weren't for Affleck, i wouldn't give Pattenson a shot in hell.

The closest we will ever get to a Ben Affleck Batman movie is if you play Arkham City with Ben Afflecks Batman skin

Ben's Batman movie backstory has some similarities with "Superman Lives." Both should have been made.

I still think that Affleck was the best Bruce Wayne / Batman ever casted He has the balance of clean and sophisticated, but also rugged and war-torn. I think Affleck's personal life and mindset really helped solidify Bruce's persona and inner conflicts and deamons. I commend Ben for walking away, because if his heart wasn't in it, everything would have seem forced, and that's when you get all the cringe scenes in JL that Whedon added in.

History repeating itself. This is this generation's Michael Keaton/Tim Burton scenario

After seeing the image of him betrayed as Deathstroke it is a real shame that the movie may never be made it is the type of project I think fans would have loved.

BEN AFFLECK should have been a standalone BATMAN in FRANK MILLER's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS

Happy that Ben's Batman movie is getting some traction rn

I want you to know that I truly appreciate this great page you have. For the past weeks I have received some bad news and was really depressed. When I watched this video I forgot about the bullshit and ate ice cream and remembered that there are small things in life to look forward to and build back and be strong again. Thank you!

Hey AT&T, is there a chance to bring Affleck's The Batman as a mini-series? Because it seems WB is not interesting in making money

Ben "lost his passion" because of Geoff Johns. He LOVES Batman. He signed on because of ZACK, when Zack left and Geoff was in charge, it wasn't at all what he originally signed on for.

While Affleck isn’t my favorite Batman, but he did a fine job with the material he was given. It’s a shame he wasn’t able to make his own Batman film as he’s a talented director and would likely been able to make his Batman better than we’ve seen already. But due to not getting the script the way he wanted it and his own personal problems happening, I see how this didn’t happen. Hopefully, he’ll be able to be Batman a few more times as long as he’s up to it as I’d rather he leave before he’s tired of doing Batman then continuing to play the part after the enthusiasm he had is gone.

Dude you can tell Ben got annoyed with everyone asking him about the movie

Ben Affleck turned out to be an incredible Batman and Bruce Wayne.

With how impossible things became possible like releasing the Snyder Cut, I hope we’ll see Ben’s Batman movie in a few years.

We want both of those damm movies Bens and Deathstroke origins BOTH!!!!

I really hope they revive this as an HBO Max miniseries #RestoreTheSnyderVerse

Affleck's Batman deserves a tv series on HBO Max.

What gets me? Why doesn't WB (or whoever owns them now) just commission the existing script and either animate it and/or make a novel out of it? Yes, its a massive shame the live-action movie itself will never get made, but there are other avenues these things can be done. The lack of imagination here is utterly appalling.

Let’s have more Batfleck! #RestoreTheSnyderverse

Affleck cursed himself in 2006 when he said, "By playing a superhero in Daredevil, I have inoculated myself from ever playing another superhero ... Wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn't want to do again soon." (Sounds of Silence plays)

It’s a damn shame we’re not getting this movie

This makes me hate Warner bros more lol

A fight scene between Deathstroke and Batman Arkham Origins style... SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Ben's take on Batman is severely underrated. I thought he did a fantastic job in Bats vs Supes (the Snyder cut or whatever it was called). Hell, the warehouse scene alone was worth it.

The great thing is that Ben can be 60 -70 years old and we can still get a frank miller’s type dark knight returns movie

I actually loved Batfleck, the Batman v Superman ultimate version was actually really good in my opinion.

Ben Affleck is great as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Jeromy Irons is the perfect Alfred.

So sad that we never get to see this masterpiece of a movie

It’s literally insane how i was completely against Ben Affleck playing Batman when it was first announced and now all I want is him in the role, he’s my favorite Batman. Long live the Snyder verse!! I’m grateful we got what we did.

When Ben mentioned that the Tim Miller directed Batman/Deathstroke fight from Arkham Origins was EXACTLY what he was going for, and cast Joe Manginallo, AND the look of him... I just thought how effin 👌 it would be to see. Knowing we would see detective Batman, more of the frenetic energy of how Batfleck fights, the whole look and style of Batfleck of it... Seeing Slade take him apart...Maybe even John Cleese as Wintergreen... it was great seeing Joe again and Ben FINALLY meet Letoker in Snyders JL.... Esai Morales did a great job in Titans but this REALLY sucks that we never got Ben's The Batman. I really hope that HBO Max ponies up the cash and we get a 3-4hr miniseries... We get a rogues gallery, more Jeremy Irons, more Joe, more JD Simmons... I'm not super hyped for The Batman we are getting and I just hope the Flash leaves door open for Batfleck but the more I see about this amazing project the more it sucks that we won't be getting this movie.

I fully SUPPORT BEN AFFLECK 1000 PERCENT

Closest we got to the Batfleck movie was the scene in ZSJL with Lex and Slade on the yacht that was supposed to lead into the Batfleck movie but wb butchered it into a legion of doom teaser or whatever tf that was supposed to be

I'd love to see Ben Affleck's The Batman as a comic book or an animated movie/series. Hell, I could say the same for other cancelled comic book films that were left open-ended.

Ben Affleck, the best Batman in the DCCU the villains do not dominate the scenes he is in

Ben affleck shows us a batman that we have never seen His voice I love it Affleck told he will do batman role but there were a lot of people who came again again to ask questions about his batman and then he got really irritated

Next videos: - Ridley Scott’s I Am Legend - Unmade Jurassic Park sequels - Long history of Wonder Woman movie (Including Joss Whedon’s Wonder Woman) - Long history of Ant-Man movie (Including Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man) - Long history of Doctor Strange movie - George Miller’s Justice League Mortal - Guillermo Del Toro’s At the Mountain of Madness - Unmade American Godzilla remake

I had a dream last night that Ben played Batman in the Nolan movies ❤️

I have always felt, since Batman v Superman, that had WB supported Snyder, Cavill and Affleck the DCEU would be so much more successful today. Warner NEVER put its weight and support behind them and today we are left without a proper foundation for the DCEU. A scrambled continuity. Characters dropped or recast. Brand new incarnations with every new movie. Reboots and retellings. This is all entirely the fault of Warner Bros and not Snyder Affleck orCavill..

WB lost my interest and money after calling Snyder fans TOXIC and REPREHENSIVE

Should do a video on the cancelled justice league movie from 2008 or whenever it was

The worst part of this is that the new Batman movie coming out DOES look really good! It's very conflicting!

gonna comeback to this video when batfleck movie gets announced

Can somebody just call in a hit for Warner Brothers already

Whether you like Ben or not.. we all know he deserved his solo Batman film. Man was insane and accurate to the comic The Dark Knight. He’s brutal, strong, giant and fearless. I’ve seen it in that 4 minute scene in BvS.

I think you summarized "The Batman's" troublesome development best by calling it a missed opportunity. The movie would've provided some much-needed characterization for the DCEU's version of the Dark Knight. Ben Affleck's Batman could've been something interesting with Joe Manganello on board and someone passionate to direct.

I'd sit through a Ben Affleck standalone Batman Arkham Series

I’m so pissed we are not getting this!

Ben Affleck didn't get the true opportunity to cement himself as the best live-action Batman of all-time, but if we got the Snyder Cut of Justice League who's to say we can't get Batfleck back for his own film or mini-series on HBO Max.

This film sounds so amazing.

I feel like this is the first time when the actors wanted to play a character but the STUDIO is the one refusing to cooperate. I think it usually goes the other way around.

Ben i would love to see you as the bat man again please reconsider...#💯

U can tell from the interviews he was so furious n annoyed on the inside of people's always asking him about the batman like let the man breathe no wonder he was an alcoholic at the time. Live by night was a good movie and DC should focus more on grounded characters that deal with gangster noir settings.

Love Batfleck, really hope this movie comes soon.

Good video, and even though I’m not a fan of BvS (IMO the Heavens Gate of superhero films) Affleck sold a tired and mature Bruce Wayne brilliantly. Major shame his Batman film never reached fruition.

Excellent vid, thanks for taking the time to compile the info. Definitely a tragic missed opportunity of a film. However, don't totally rule it out, fans petitioned the "Snyder Cut" of J.L, and look where we are today: A comic book master piece.

Meanwhile the folks at Marvel are kicking names and taking ass. On TV, no less. One bloody shield later...

When Affleck was first cast as Batman I was pissed for years, until Batman V Superman came out and the warehouse scene happened. It was one of the greatest Batman fight scenes of all time. Not better than all of Nolan's trilogy but it was single handed the best fight scene in any live action Batman film. After that Ben grew on me and I liked his cameos in the other films, I didn't think they were long enough. Than I heard he was making his own Batman film and I felt if it was like the Arkham Knight games and more like the warehouse scene and put it in like a Game of Death type setting where it was all fighting and 90% all Batman just fighting everyone he put in Arkham it would be incredible. The end boss would be of course Leto's Joker where they could finally be united and possibly have one of the greatest Batman films ever made. But then of course Warner Brothers step in and cancel everything and now we are getting a new Batman totally different and more of the same rehashed storylines with more flashbacks of his parents getting killed and just Things we have seen way too much already and everything I personally am really tired of. I think Robert Pattinson is an ok choice as a young Batman but as far as being excited for it I'm really not and could care less.

The more joe talked the more my heart raced and my eyes just got watery smh this shit would have been amazing

Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon next?

A cautionary tale about how studio execs are their own worst enemy

I got really excited when it was announced that Ben Affleck's Batman was getting his own stand alone movie. Joe Magenello's Deathstoke showing up at the end of Justice League talking with Lex Luthor was interesting, but it was done to set up Justice League 2, as we know know. So the original intention of that scene was to set up the stand alone Batman movie. That would have really cool to see Batman go up against Deathstroke! This was a huge blunder on Warner Bros. part. It's fine that Ben Affleck decided to not direct it, and Matt Reeves was hired to direct. He's a good director. Ben Affleck then could have focused on playing Bruce Wayne and Batman well. I don't care to see The Batman with Robert Pattenson. I'd rather skip it since it's not going be part of the DCEU.

Goateee, leather jacket, snarling wolf drawing behind him-- this guy's a badass!!!!!!!

Bring Ben back with Joe but have Evans of The Raid to direct! Warner Bros make it happen!

This is the Batman movie I want to see…

He seems so passionate about Deathstroke. He should play him in another universe.

Regardless of not getting this version of the film, I’m immensely satisfied at the movie that we got from Matt Reeves.

I was kinda hoping you'd cover the unmade Superman Returns sequel "Superman Unchained"

Great video, really hope that this gets released as an HBO Max series. Also hoping to see videos on Batman Unchained Batman DarKnight Justice League Mortal

Quite sad. When Ben was announced as Batman, myself like so many thought...yuk. He turned out to be my favorite version of Batman. It's sad he never had a solo movie. He was at best a co-star, and that is very unfortunate.

Joe was genuinely so excited I feel so bad, he was such a fanboy throughout the process.

First I have to tell you that I have been binge watching your channel literally since 6:30 this morning up until right now and it's 8:40 at night while at work. I came across your channel and I just cannot get enough! That being said this one out of all of the videos that I've watched of yours today is the most heart-wrenching this one would have been epic! Thank you for your efforts on this channel you can tell this is a passion for you. I look forward to binge watching more tomorrow. Needless to say I am now a new subscriber and fan of your work

I like Pattinson as Batman but it would’ve been amazing to see affleck in his solo Batman movie.

Even though I loved Matt Reeves Batman film and i cant wait for the sequel, I do wish Ben Affleck's Batman film was made because it sounds like it would have been amazing.

I’m here from the future and it looks like he could be in his own movie within the next 3-4years.

Joe at the end describing the solo batfleck movie sounds fukkin amazing! With batgirl helping and it sounds like deathstroke destroying the batman from the inside out

#MakeTheBatfleckMovie

I rather watch a Veteran Batman like Batfleck rather than re-treading the early days of Batman BS we keep getting.

I think the pressure got 2 him in the end!!! Its so much pressure and after bvs and josstice leagues reactions he probly shit himself

Warner Brothers gets an F. For failing to make a cohesive universe and giving up to quickly on excellent scripts

Ben Affleck's Batman is my favorite take on the Dark Knight, and it breaks my heart that we will probably never see a solo movie with him in it. The fact I didn't like The Batman movie we did get, only adds salt to the wound.

Seeing the way Matt Reeves handled Batman, I’m not so sad this movie didn’t go thru production. At the same time it would be cool to see the vision Ben Affleck had come to life.

Please WB #restorethesynderverse #MakeTheBatfleckMovie

The DCEU had so much potential, nightwing, Robin, redhood, superboy, old krypton flashbacks to Brainiac, etc. So much potential 😢

I wanna cry, I just cant believe that they're not gonna make this movie, and that is why I think the new batman movie will fail, because is never going to be this movie, and we will always have a bittersweet taste in our mouths ... so so sad, man, I just want to go to bed and cry ... I'm not going to the movies to see the new batman movie

It would have been awesome to see the version of Ben Affleck's The Batman would have been something that us fans would have gone crazy for Thanks Warner for nothing

I loved how buff Ben was
