Vi vet ju alla hur det gick för Batfleck och dennes framtid i DCEU, vilket innebar att den Batman-film som stjärnan Ben Affleck ville regissera aldrig blev av. Vi vet också sedan tidigare att filmen, som skulle ha starka Fincher-vibbar, skulle kretsa kring Joe Manganiellos sluge Deathstroke och hur denne systematiskt förstörde Bruce Waynes liv. Nu berättar DC-profilen Jay Oliva att filmen skulle bygga på 80 år av Batman-mytologi och genom detta erbjuda ett nytt perspektiv i Batman-världen:
"I can't really say too much other than it was f—king awesome. It was the best. It was amazing. From my understanding, there were a couple of drafts of it. When I was brought on, I don't know whether it was the second draft or something, but it was what Geoff Johns and Ben [Affleck] had shown me."
"I've worked on a lot of Batman things and what was really cool about it was, it was tying together a lot of really cool Batman storylines that had never been really explored. Ben's story was gonna cover something that had never really been covered in comics but was building off of storylines in the Batman mythos over the last 80 years and approaching it from a new kind of perspective. It was very clever and there were a lot of things about it that I really loved that I wish that had come to fruition. It was a really great project in the beginning. Ben had to step away for personal reasons, and I totally understood, but the time that I spent with Ben working on the project was fantastic. Maybe someday I can spill the beans, but I still can't talk about it."
Ben Affleck lämnade projektet efter röran som var Justice League-produktionen. Batfleck gjorde sin sista cameo i The Flash och det var tänkt att Afflecks Läderlapp också skulle dyka upp i Aquaman 2, men karaktären ska tydligen ha klippts bort helt och hållet. Matt Reeves Batman-uppföljare är dock fortfarande på gång, men det är oklart när den filmen släpps. Hade du önskat se Batfleck-filmen som aldrig blev av?
