Last week , we were fortunate to bring down the London set of Justice League ( study about it here ) . While on set , Ben Affleck approached the journalists in his full batsuit ( minus bonnet ) to talk not just about that movie , but his solo Batman film . Here ’s the short interpretation of what he said : It ’ll be ready when it ’s quick .
Here ’s the long version . “ I believe [ Warner Bros. ] a date for it , ” said Affleck . “ Although , I do n’t have a go at it if I would necessarily be capable to make that particular date because I do n’t have a script that ’s quick yet . So my timetable is I ’m not go away to make a movie until there ’s a script that I think is good . I ’ve been on the terminal of the things when you make movies when you have a book that ’s not good yet and it does n’t trash out . ”
Affleck said the book they have now is n’t quite yet up to his personal standards of a Batman movie should be . “ [ It ] ’s something that would have to eliminate a very in high spirits bar for me , ” he said . “ It ’s not just like , ‘ Yeah , that might be fun , rent ’s go sample this out . ’ ”
What that script will entail is , apparently , still a whodunit . Affleck did say , however , that we ’d see the graphic symbol be more of a detective in the eventual Batman film ( as well as in Justice League , for that thing ) .
“ The man ’s sterling police detective aspect of Batman is more present in [ Justice League ] than it was in [ Batman v Superman ] , and will probably be exposit upon further in a Batman movie that I would do , ” Affleck allege . “ I think all the great Batman stories are , at their heart , police detective stories . That ’s why they experience like noir movies in a way . Somehow it feel like it could be The Maltese Falcon . ”
Before that happens , though , Affleck will appear and contribute to Zack Snyder ’s Justice League , a film he ’s not only starring in , but now executive producing . Though rumors circled that Affleck ’s promotion was so he could have more control over the plastic film , on bent he gave a much more logical account .
“ It ’s a creative way that DC came up with , being a filmmaker - drive party and entity , [ to make ] sure that the right hired hand acknowledge what the left hand is doing , ” Affleck said . “ So that there ’s collaborationism and supervision . So that somebody does n’t go sweep off , make problems for your flick with their picture . ”
Basically , by executive producing Justice League , Affleck can manage the component that could be used in ( or will unquestionably return for ) the Batman movie . “ I imply , here we are in the police station in Gotham City . There ’s a potential that something like this might be in [ my ] tarradiddle , ” he said . “ I get to press in on stuff [ now ] that impacts the Batman stuff [ later ] . ”
Though Affleck say Warner Bros. has a date for his Batman movie , we do n’t know which of the untitled movies the studio apartment has staked out on the calendar are for him ( it ’s probable something in 2019 or 2020 ) . But for now Batman seems to be on Affleck ’s agenda , not WB ’s .
