Defending Ben Affleck's Departure from Batman
Remember a time when Ben Affleck was both writing and directing a Batman film, that he would be starring in? Recall rumors of Deathstroke being in it and even speculation of all the Batman’s rogues appearing? Later on, Matt Reeves signed on to direct or maybe even co-direct. Fans became lost in this development. At first appearance, the idea was Matt Reeves is simply co-directing or directing, regardless, this was still Ben Affleck’s Batman. In time though, this was no longer the case. Reeves threw out the script, Robert Pattinson is cast and Ben Affleck simply retired the cape and cowl. I admit, I am a fan of Batfleck as fans came to call him. However, I personally feel Affleck made the right choice.
