Why Ben Affleck Didn't Make The Batman
206After showing a confidant his plans, the actor was told, "I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went through again."
On Jan. 30, 2019, Ben Affleck confirmed he was retiring as Batman, a move that ended nearly 18 months of speculation about his future as the Dark Knight and which paved the way for Robert Pattinson to step into the role for Matt Reeves' The Batman.
