Ben Affleck's 'The Batman' Script May Get Completely Rewritten

The Batman is in upheaval. First Ben Affleck left the director's chair, despite having penned a script that takes "a road that no one’s really gone down that’s completely integral to who Batman is." Rumors came that he wants to stop playing the part soon. Then, in a step forward, director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, War for the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) jumped on board.

Now Slashfilm has sources saying the follow-up to Batman v Superman and Justice League is being completely rewritten. "For the record, the original screenplay for The Batman was supposedly in flux last month," the site writes, "when it was initially reported that the studio was eyeing a 'fresh start.' A day later, it was reported that everyone was happy with the latest draft."
