Ben Affleck Rumored to Direct DCEU Batman and Robin Film

At the end of January, DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran shared their plans for the DC Extended Universe, including plans for a Batman and Robin film. Titled The Brave and the Bold, rumors are now noting that Ben Affleck is now in talks to direct the film.

The rumors build on Gunn’s previous notes about involving the former Batman in directing future movies for the DCEU. Although discussions are reportedly in the works, no official word has surfaced regarding the development of the projects.

The Brave and the Bold is expected to see a new duo of actors portraying Batman and Robin, with the Robin featured believed to be Bruce Wayne’s biological son, Damian. Said to be an adaptation of Batman & Robin by Grant Morrison, the film could also introduce other members of the Batfamily.
