Ben Affleck's ‘The Batman’ Has a Surprising, Never-Explored, 'Completely Integral' Story

We've heard a wee bit about Ben Affleck's standalone film The Batman, but Joe Manganiello really brought the hype-Batarangs this week. Speaking on the radio show Mark Madden, Super Genius, the Magic Mike XXL actor who'll play baddie Deathstroke said:

“[Ben Affleck's] take is a fresh take but I think the audience is going to be surprised. Because it’s a road that no one’s really gone down that’s completely integral to who Batman is. And I think it’s gonna be refreshing but at the same time completely familiar. But it’s going to take this franchise in a direction that I think a lot of people are going to be really happy about.”
