It's time to put a smile on that face with some amazing details that we have about Ben Affleck's cancelled Batman Movie.

The cancelled project was up in the air for a lot of time and at one point Affleck pretty much became Schroedinger's Bat as we didn't know whether he was in or out.

DC, of course, settled on Robert Battinson taking over the cape and cowl but with the Ben returning for additional scenes in The Snyder Cut and the upcoming Flash Movie, I thought we'd take a look at the original outline and what we could've got.

Ben Affleck Batman Original Script

Anyway the script itself had a lot of revisions and we now know that things pretty much came to a stalemate with no-one behind the project being 100% happy on the direction that things were going. We'll discuss someone who read the script that disagrees with this comment later in the video but clearly there were issues.

Affleck was originally supposed to direct the movie but he stepped to the side to let Matt Reeves take over and not long after the two parted ways with Reeves scrapping things and starting again to tell his own story in an offshoot continuity.

All the way back in 2019, Robert Richardson, the film's cinematographer confirmed that the script was finished but not beloved by anyone. On MTV's, Happy Sad Confused Podcast, Richardson said he'd been hired to film the movie after he and Affleck worked together on his film Live By Night.

Richardson said “There was a lot to do… he was trying to change it and then he made the decision to do as you know, ‘Gone Girl.'”

Arkham Asylum

According to Richardson, the movie was going to take Batman to Arkham Asylum where he was going to dig into Bruce Wayne's insanity and that this would be used to show the darker side of Bruce Wayne's personality.

If you've read Batman Ego then you'll know that book tackles the Dichotomy of the Bruce Wayne and Batman Persona and the pair pretty much fight one another in order to take over the character's body.

Richardson stated that the work was going to delve deeply into the insanity aspects and that the project would tackle questions like who was inside Batman, which one was the individual and which elements of the character were sane and insane.

The cinematographer said that upon entering Arkham that he would almost see a black mirror of everyone that he'd locked up and how they were in some ways a reflection of him.

Now, this is of course steeped in several of his villains.

I hope we get a Batfleck HBO series one day. This just sounds too good to not happen

[dextermuma]

BatFleck is the best Onscreen Batman Period, he Was Built, Looked, Fought, Thought, walked, talked exactly like a comic book batman

[TaskForce_]

I just wanted to see Deathstroke vs Batfleck but it didn't happen

[whysosnappy]

The Batfleck film and The Gareth Evans Deathstroke Movie are among the greatest missed opportunities in the entirety of the DCEU

[Sunstar]

Maybe the Batfleck film/limited series can go to HBOMax where he can produce a quality project that’s much appreciated with less pressure from box office numbers.

[antoniusdecimus]

The Ben Affleck portrayal of Batman is hands down my favorite. Please everyone sign up for HBO Max and watch the Snyder cut the right way (don't pirate it) . If it does well then the sky is the limit for the Snyder vision.

[santinowilson]

Ben, for me was my favourite batman. The suite and attitude was by far as far as you can get as comic book batman. I would love to see more from him with his own vision.

If you want to kill Batman, you wait till he’s at McDonalds, and “you simply walk up behind him and stab them in the heart”

[TheRealBatCave]

Affleck in BvS was by far the best batman

[newginslab]

I feel like there’s this constant battle between creative artists like Batfleck who want to bring the character into new and interesting stories, that we havnt really seen before. On the the other side, you have execs/fans who always want Batman to stay the same and comic book accurate. Judging by the people who read the script, you can definitely see the divide. IMO, if Joker showed us anything, it’s that unique visions should be allowed to become films. I remember when people where upset that joker was getting a backstory on film, but after the release everyone I know loves it.

Just give Batfleck his own HBO Max Series, he deserves it

[Josh-Parker_Battleedits]

Ben Affleck deserves to be back as Batman! He was Awesome as Batman!

[masterrserch]

I REALLY wanted to see his Batman movie(s). He's such a good director, and his idea of doing it all in one night in Arkham, that would been dope!

[thebatman]

I have hope that this guy will be back as Batman.

[saikathghosh]

No doubt that Ben Alfleck is the best batman, he is my favourite batman to date. Still i am waiting for live action Deathstroke vs Batman especially with Ben Alfleck's batman. Thanks for description of the script and and as always your videos are always awesome, hope you get more support.

[ncprime]

Big Batfleck fan and love love love the idea of mangenello’s description of Affleck’s story. It’s basically Batman Hush but with Desthstroke, a far superior villain doing the bad guy stuff.

[theidrir]

Batfleck is hands down the best Batman! I was sad. When he left the project behind. I am excited about The Batman movie, but hope that Ben comes back to play the character beyond his role in the flash movie

[EarnestTargenfyre]

Eagerly waiting for the Batfleck Series announcement!
2021 will be crazy.

[aguasanta]

It would've been a very interesting story that would justify the Batman personality on Batman VS Superman
