Few superhero franchises have had as tumultuous a journey asthe DCEU timeline.
Its cancellation left a void but also paved the way for one that ultimately became my favorite.
His performance stood out, even amid the films divisive reception.
For many, myself included, thissounded like the most exciting Batman concept in years.
Unfortunately, it never materialized.
Affleck stepped away from directing, then from writing, and eventually, from the role entirely.
Creative differences, personal challenges, and thebroader implosion of the Snyderverse all contributed.
As such, the DCEUs solo Batman film so long in development vanished before a single frame was shot.
Theres a lot of what if energy surrounding Afflecks Batman movie.
The tone promised to be more grounded thanJustice Leaguebut more kinetic and comic-book faithful than Christopher Nolans realism.
With Affleck out, director Matt Reeves was brought in and offered the chance to reboot the project entirely.
The cinematography, the sound design, the stripped-down gadgets it all worked.

I loveThe Batmanand wouldnt trade it for anything except, maybe, the movie it replaced.
What stings the most is that audiences could have had both.
DC Studios will introduce an important new version of Batman in The Brave and the Bold.
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming DC Universe film.
Instead, a promising character arc dissolved behind the scenes.
