Things are in full swing in San Diego for Comic-Con where Zack Snyder’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice will take the stage in Hall H for its star-studded panel this weekend. That said, actor Ben Affleck has since broken the news that he and DC Comics’s chief creative officer Geoff Johns are likely to turn finish a script for Affleck‘s long-hyped iteration of The Batman.
Deadline reports the film will take precedence over Affleck’s schedule once he wraps his long-awaited adaptation of the award-winning 2012 publication by author Dennis Lehane, Live By Night, and will focus on the progression of the title character following Snyder’s aforementioned movie going into the slated 2017 and 2019 releases of Snyder’s Justice League twofer. The news also comes at a time when Cavill himself is also on record expressing his hopes for another installment of Man Of Steel following his 2013 film, and if the hype takes its intended shape, it looks like Warner Bros. may be making a few more additions to its production schedule.
Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice releases on March 25, 2016. Stay tuned for more info.
