Is Ben Affleck really out as Batman? Addressing those new actor rumours.

Ok, so we know by now that Justice League has been getting the predicted hot and cold reviews (heck we even put up a negative and a positive review as we have mixed feelings ourselves), but on top of all this the rumour is that Ben Affleck does indeed want out of the franchise and that Batman solo movie director Matt Reeves already wants to replace him too.

So what’s the deal?

Well, we’re living in a world of speculation and rumour. Surprise, surprise.

So here’s what we can gleam.

Apparently Matt Reeves HAS already been chatting to actors to replace Affleck – ACTORS – and one of those actors is Jake Gyllenhaal (continues after pic)

For the record, we can certainly see him in the role and there is a certain resemblance to Affleck and Gyllenhaal has proved that he can bulk up when roles call for it, so we’d imagine he’s definitely a possible future fans – interestingly the actor was previously shortlisted for Batman when Christian Bale played him:

So, while all this is happening, it still doesn’t confirm anything… although we have to say we’ve reluctantly had to admit that it looks like Affleck is done with the role and after the Flashpoint movie we expect he’ll no longer wear a cape and ears.

Interestingly, we’ve been watching Twitter and the outstanding fan choice we’ve seen so far is Madmen and Baby Driver star, John Hamm:

Again, as far as we know, there’s nothing to this one… but we would put our support behind him too.

So, what do you all think? If Affeck DOES go, who would you like to see in the role? Let us know.
